Funded Activity Summary

Mechanics of unsaturated soils and its applications. The project aims to study the fundamental behaviour of Australian natural soils under varying water contents and loading conditions. Some immediate applications include the design of foundations on reactive soils and the analysis of rainfall-induced landslides. In both cases, the aim is to improve the design method and hence reduce the damage cost.
