International Research Fellowship Program: Geotechnical Engineering - Efficient Design of Deep Foundations in Cemented Soils

0107341DeJong国际研究员奖励计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。 该计划的奖项为联合研究提供了机会，并利用国外独特或互补的设施，专业知识和实验条件。该奖项将支持为期六个月的博士后研究奖学金博士。DeJong将与位于西澳大利亚州Nedlands的西澳大利亚大学的Mark兰多夫博士一起工作。在全世界有水泥砂矿床的地区，深基础的建设速度正在不断增长。 然而，目前的经验设计方法执行不够，因此，必须取得进展，以提高设计性能。 在先进的计算机建模方法可以正确地实施，深基础行为的机制必须理解和纳入模型。 该项目将研究这些机制，并为水泥土中的深基础建模提供初步框架。西澳大利亚大学是深基础设计的主要机构之一。 主持人是深基础领域的权威。

0107341DeJongThe International Research Fellow Awards Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty-four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad.This award will support a six-month postdoctoral research fellowship by Dr. Jason T. DeJong to work with Dr. Mark Randolph at the University of Western Australia in Nedlands, West Australia.Deep foundations are being constructed at an ever increasing rate in regions with cemented sand deposits throughout the world. However, current empirical design methods perform inadequately, and thus advances must be made to improve design performance. Before advanced computer modeling methods can be properly implemented, the mechanisms governing deep foundation behavior must be understood and incorporated into models. This project will investigate these mechanisms and provide a preliminary framework for modeling deep foundations in cemented soils.The University of Western Australia is one of the premier institutions in the design of deep foundations. The host is a leading authority in the field of deep foundations.
