Funded Activity Summary

STATIC AND DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF SATURATED AND UNSATURATED SOILS. Engineering structures such as buildings, highways, tunnels, dams, slopes and offshore oil platforms are all constructed on or in soils. The ability to predict the response of these materials under static and dynamic loading is therefore of major importance in civil engineering design, but is complicated by the fact they are typically unsaturated with nonlinear, inhomogeneous, and anisotropic properties. This project aims to formulate and implement new computational tools for predicting the load-deformation behaviour of unsaturated soils, and will also involve experimental work and simulations of field data. The long term objective is to develop advanced methods that can be used by practising engineers, thereby leading to improved engineering design and reduced construction costs.
