The National Geotechnical Experimentation Sites (NGES) program comprises a system of six well-characterized sites located throughout the United States that are available for full-scale geotechnical experiments. In 1998, the National Council for Geo-Engineering and Construction (the Geo Council), a council of ten geo-related organizations, assumed management of the NGES program. The Geo Council expressed interest in expanding the program to new types of sites, such as a geoenvironmental site or a rock site. In addition, with FHWA support, the NGES database is currently being updated and improved and will be a major asset for users including professionals, educators, researchers and students. In order to give direction and priorities to NGES program, a workshop is planned, with NSF support, to develop a broader vision for the program and inject some new thoughts and people into the process. The workshop, to be held in the fall, 2000, will be sponsored by the Geo Council and will produce a report that is widely disseminated and available on the council's Web site: www.geocouncil.org

国家岩土工程实验场地 (NGES) 计划由位于美国各地的六个特征明确的场地组成，可用于全面的岩土实验。 1998 年，由 10 个与地质相关的组织组成的国家地质工程和建设委员会（Geo Council）承担了 NGES 计划的管理工作。 地理委员会表示有兴趣将该计划扩展到新型场地，例如地质环境场地或岩石场地。 此外，在 FHWA 的支持下，NGES 数据库目前正在更新和改进，将成为包括专业人士、教育工作者、研究人员和学生在内的用户的主要资产。 为了给 NGES 项目指明方向和优先事项，在 NSF 的支持下，计划举办一次研讨会，为该项目制定更广阔的愿景，并为该过程注入一些新的思想和人员。 该讲习班将于 2000 年秋季举行，由地理委员会主办，并将编写一份广泛传播的报告，并可在该委员会的网站上获取：www.geocouncil.org
