Funded Activity Summary

Engineering the strength and consolidation of reclaimed soft soil. Engineering the strength and consolidation of reclaimed soft soil. This project aims to strengthen reclaimed soft soils by controlled desiccation. Soft soil is a significant engineering challenge for many industry sectors in Australia and worldwide. The disposal of dredged soft soil is costly and time-consuming, and failure of soft mine tailings is an environmental catastrophe that can cause loss of life and interrupt mining production. This project will research the underlying processes of material behaviour, by developing new electromagnetic measurement and modelling methods to predict material strengths at the micro and macro scales during desiccation. The new approach is expected to lead to innovative solutions to bearing capacity and settlement problems associated with soft soils.
