Renovation of Civil Engineering Materials Research Laboratory

小行星9313461 材料研究，在土木工程应用的背景下，是必不可少的 任何现代成功的工程项目的子集。 基本公共工程 美国的基础设施需要大规模升级。 一个重要 在全国范围内最终改善这些设施的因素是发展， 在设计和施工中采用新材料 行业 密歇根大学的这个项目试图在以下方面发挥重要作用： 这个过程 该奖项将使该机构能够更有效地利用 他们目前（4000平方英尺）的实验室空间在材料研究通过翻新 的设施。 通过大规模重组和升级这些设施， 材料研究和研究生培训将更加有效。 设施 改造将集中在加工，机械测试， 微观结构分析在不同的领域。 这将使研究人员能够操作 在不同的功能活动中发挥作用， 在目前的实验室环境下，这是不可能的。 ***

9313461 Wylie Materials research, in the context of Civil Engineering applications, is an essential subset of any modern, successful engineering program. The basic public works infrastructure in the United States is in need of massive upgrading. An important ingredient in the ultimate improvement of these facilities nationwide is the development, introduction, and implementation of new materials into the design and construction industry. The program at the University of Michigan is attempting to play a major role in this process. This award will make it possible for this institution to more efficiently utilize their current (4000 square feet) laboratory space in materials research through renovation of the facilities. Through massively reorganizing and upgrading these facilities, the materials research and graduate training will be made more effective. The facilities renovations will focus on the functions of processing, mechanical testing, and microstructural analysis in separate areas. This will enable researchers to operate independently and be productive in different functional activities, something that is impossible in the current laboratory environment. ***
