Funded Activity Summary

Optimization Based Finite Element Procedures for Geotechnical Applications. Although this project is predominantly a fundamental study it is expected to lead to a class of new methods for accurate and efficient modelling of complex geotechnical applications. Ultimately, this will result in cheaper and safer designs of both standard and non-standard geotechnical structures. The project builds on and extends the tradition which has been established in Australia over the past 15-20 years of applying mathematical programming methods to geomechanical problems. This work has received world wide recognition and the numerical methods developed in Newcastle are currently being commercialized for the benefit of practising engineers and geotechnical researchers.
