This action is for the purchase of a soils closed-loop testing system.          The overall purpose is to improve the research capabilities of the soils        laboratory in the Civil Engineering Department of the Illinois Institute        of Technology.  The proposed system is widely accepted as the standard          in dynamic material testing.  The device will be used to continue               current research in the area of soil liquefaction.                                                                                                              Two areas of interest are in soil liquefaction research.  The first of          these is the study of the dynamic liquefaction response of saturated            partially cemented soils.  The testing system will be used to develop a         constitutive model that can describe the characteristics of these soils.                                                                                        The second research topic is in strain controlled testing for the               evaluation of liquefaction potential.                                                                                                                           The principal investigators have the capability and institutional               facilities to develop the proposed dynamic soil testing system.  lt will        provide and advanced capability for improving the understanding and             prediction of earthquake-induced soil liquefaction.
