Funded Activity Summary

Geostructural stability analysis with adaptive mesh refinement. AIMS: To conduct fundamental research on new methods for predicting the stability of geostructures such as tunnels, dams, highways and foundations. To translate this research into innovative computer software and better civil design procedures. SIGNIFICANCE: Billions of dollars are spent annually on the construction of Australian infrastructure. This project will lead to new algorithms and computer software for designing this infrastructure. Particular emphasis will be placed on the development of adaptive methods for three-dimensional problems involving complex ground profiles, where current procedures are inadequate. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: Cutting-edge algorithms and computer software that will lead to cheaper and safer design of civil infrastructure. This will be accompanied by top-level refereed publications and a book.
