0305526SheahanThis award supports the PI and graduate students from the Northwestern University in a collaboration with Tom Lunne of the Offshore Geotechnical Engineering Division of the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute in Oslo, Norway. The collaboration will advance the state of the art in how soft soils are sampled, the degree of sample disturbance is measured, and effects of disturbance on measured behavior are evaluated. The research program will also bring the state of US sampling practice in this area from one that has remained essentially constant for the past 50 years to one that is at the forefront of present capabilities. A great part of the uncertainty in geotechnical design and research comes from sample disturbance and current methods of sampling and testing cause a wide range of sample disturbance that affects material behavior. The US-Norway collaboration gives the US group access to the premier geotechnical research institute in the world, and can only add to the success of the domestic research.The project also fulfills a training objective. The international project will allow graduate students involved to benefit from performing research in another country. They will develop a heightened appreciation of the world around them while also learning important new technical skills.

0305526 Sheahan该奖项支持西北大学的PI和研究生与挪威奥斯陆挪威岩土研究所海洋岩土工程部的Tom Lunne合作。 该合作将推进最先进的软土采样，样品扰动的程度进行测量，干扰对测量行为的影响进行评估。 该研究计划还将把美国在这一领域的采样实践从过去50年基本保持不变的状态带到目前能力的最前沿。 岩土工程设计和研究中的不确定性很大一部分来自于样品扰动，而现有的取样和试验方法引起了广泛的样品扰动，影响了材料的性能。 美国和挪威的合作使美国集团能够接触到世界上最好的岩土研究机构，这只会增加国内研究的成功。该项目还实现了培训目标。 该国际项目将允许参与研究的研究生从在另一个国家进行研究中受益。 他们将培养对周围世界的高度赞赏，同时也学习重要的新技术技能。
