Funded Activity Summary

Upper Bound Shakedown Analysis for Geotechnical Applications. To design many geotechnical structures, engineers need to estimate the maximum load that can be sustained under cyclic conditions without causing large permanent deformations (incremental collapse). This quantity is used to deduce the allowable design load and is therefore crucial in maximising safety and minimising costs. The chief aim of this project is to develop a new method for predicting the maximum load that a structure can sustain under cyclic conditions without undergoing incremental collapse. It will be applicable to a wide range of geotechnical engineering problems including pavements, offshore foundations, compacted soils, and cyclically loaded foundations.
