Funded Activity Summary

Failure Analysis of Geotechnical Infrastructure. With a forecast public and private sector investment of around 200 billion dollars in Australia's infrastructure over the next five years, there is an unprecedented need to design and build this infrastructure as cheaply and safely as possible. Given the magnitude of the investment involved, even small percentage savings resulting from advanced research will lead to large returns in absolute dollar terms. This project will provide engineers with new and better tools for predicting the safety of geostructures such as roads, railways, tunnels, dams, and port facilities. Moreover, commercialisation of the corresponding software worldwide will provide knowledge transfer from the university sector to industry and generate technology exports.
