土木工程理学硕士-岩土工程[非学位论文]

土木与环境工程系提供土木工程硕士学位（硕士学位或非学位）和博士学位。研究领域包括环境工程，岩土工程，结构工程和力学以及水资源工程。缅因州的沿海地区以Presumpscot地层粘土而闻名，这是一种冰川土壤沉积物，容易发生剧烈的滑坡，并导致建筑物沉降，并给各种类型和尺寸的结构的建造带来挑战。Presumpscot组是1987年和2015年两个地方座谈会的焦点，有关这两个座席的议事录可在2015年座谈会网站上找到。研究机会可用于研究软硬质粘土的行为（例如Presumpscot地层），研究陆地，沿海和近岸环境中的
The coastal region of Maine is known for Presumpscot Formation clay, a glacial soil deposit that is susceptible to dramatic landslides and that has caused building settlements and challenges to the construction of all types and sizes of structures. The Presumpscot Formation is the focus of two local symposia in 1987 and 2015, and the proceedings for both can be found at the 2015 Symposium website.<br><br>Research opportunities are available to study the behavior of soft and stiff clays (such as the Presumpscot Formation), investigation of natural hazards in land, coastal, and near-shore environments, soil structure interaction using full scale installations and/or modeling of scaled systems, onshore and offshore site characterization employing in situ, geophysical, and laboratory methods, thermal behavior of soils related to energy transfer, permafrost vulnerability and cold regions engineering.
