Developing International Protocols for Offshore Sediments and their Role in Geohazards (NEES-2008-0635)

<p><strong>Title</strong>: Developing International Protocols for Offshore Sediments and their Role in Geohazards: Characterization, Assessment, and Mitigation (NEES-2008-0635)</p> <p><strong>Year Of Curation: </strong>2012</p> <p><strong>Description: </strong>The PIRE project utilized NEES ES shared use resources to investigate the following two topics: (Experiment 1) development of a variable penetration rate cone system for improved insitu characterization of soils and (Experiment 2) investigation of submarine slope stability of sensitive clays. The projects were performed in parallel, but were logistically unrelated. </p> <p><strong>Award: </strong>http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0530151</p> <p><strong>PIs & CoPIs: </strong>Jason DeJong</p> <p><strong>Dates: </strong>September 29, 2008 - December 01, 2011</p> <p><strong>Organizations: </strong>University of California, Davis, CA, United States</p> <p><strong>Facilities: </strong>University of California, Los Angeles, CA, United States,    University of California, Davis, CA, United States</p> <p><strong>Sponsor: </strong>NSF - 0530151 </p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Variable Rate Cone Penetration Test,Intermediate Soil,Sediment,Synthetic Soil</p> <p><strong>Publications: </strong>"Centrifuge Tests for Cemented Sensitive Clay Slopes"</p> <nb:citations></nb:citations>
