Description
| Abstract: | A system of National Geotechnical Experimentation Sites (NGES) is available in the United States. This program provides easy access to well characterized and documented field test sites with a wide range of geological conditions for the purpose of advancing the state-of-the-art in areas such as in situ testing, instrumentation, prediction of soil behavior and foundation prototype testing. This volume compiles technical information on the following NGES: Treasure Island Naval Station, Texas A & M University, University of Houston, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Northwestern University and Spring Villa Test Site. Also included are papers describing a spectrum of applications for education and research using the NGES facilities and the associated database. This special publication ends with new directions planned for the NGES program. |
