Project Description and Objectives:

In Shanghai as well as numerous other coastal cities in China, the foundations of many old buildings contain liquefiable soil layers. The destructive effects of these liquefiable soil layers on buildings have been observed in many countries.

The goal of this internship will be to study the liquefaction of soils and evaluate the destructive effects on the buildings by using a shaking table, and to study the destructive effects of traffic loading and sea wave loading.

Eligibility Requirements:

Have a good knowledge of soil properties.

Have good dexterity and be familiar with manual work in a laboratory.

Main Tasks:

Understand basic theory.

Learn basic skills in experimentation.
