Relocation of the National Geotechnical Centrifuge

美国国家航空航天局艾姆斯研究中心的一台离心机被改造为国家岩土工程研究设施，被称为国家岩土离心机。虽然该设施位于美国宇航局艾姆斯，但加州大学戴维斯分校负责该设施的资金和运营。这一行动的目的是为将这台离心机搬迁到加州大学戴维斯校区提供部分财政支助。搬迁的主要费用将由加州大学提供。这次搬迁将大大有助于有效地管理、操作和使用这台离心机作为岩土工程研究的国家设施。

A centrifuge at NASA Ames Research Center was converted for use as a national facility for geotechnical engineering research, and is referred to as the National Geotechnical Centriguge. Although the facility is at NASA Ames, the University of California at Davis is responsible for the funding and operation of the facility. The purpose of this action is to provide partial financial support for the relocation of this centrifuge to the Davis campus of the University of California. The major cost for the relocation will be provided by the University of California. This relocation will contribute significantly to the effective management, operation, and use of this centrifuge as a national facility for geotechnical engineering research.
