Funded Activity Summary

Application of expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam and deep cement mixed columns for protection of existing foundations during urban construction. Urban construction activities are increasing in the capital cities of Australia, and the occurrence of new construction activities near existing structures is increasing. The main outcome of this project will provide economic engineering strategies for the protection of buildings during urban construction activities, hence minimising construction related damage, litigation and delays as witnessed recently during Sydney's Lane Cove tunnel collapse. Proposed novel solutions using EPS geofoam and deep cement mixing will significantly increase the international competitiveness and export potential of the Australian construction industry, and improve community confidence in developers and the Engineering profession.
