Development of a frequency- and amplitute-dependent macro element for seismic SSI analysis of shallow and deep foundations

2016/17-2018/19 • $57,141

The objective of the proposed research is to develop a computationally efficient numerical element which can capture both the inelasticity and the frequency dependency of shallow and deep foundations for seismic soil-structure-interaction analyses. One of the challenges in explicitly modelling a...

Effects of sample and boundary imperfections on calibration of monotonic and cyclic constitutive models in sand

2018/19 • $25,000

Like many other fields of science and engineering, geotechnical engineers use laboratory testing to determine*the engineering properties of soils, so foundations, dams, tunnels and other structures can be designed and*constructed with, in, or on soils. Like all other laboratory tests, these...

Improved geomechanical model visualization and interpretation using a combined mixed reality-virtual reality approach

2017/18 • $25,000

Numerical modelling techniques in geotechnical engineering have advanced considerably in recent years ashave methods of obtaining the required input data. A major challenge remains in ensuring optimal viewing ofthree-dimensional data to allow efficient interpretation of results by the expert...

Robust estimation of informative prior distributions for rock strength parameters

2016/17 • $25,000

Over the past few decades, the development of design methods based on the reliability of structures hasallowed the structural and aeronautical engineering communities to produce more economical and dependabledesigns. These reliability-based design (RBD) methods are based on statistical analysis...

Numerical analysis of fractured rock mass

2016/17 • $25,000

Understanding the large-scale mechanical behaviour of rock masses is of a significant importance in several strategic geotechnical projects, which include carbon dioxide sequestration and construction of deep geological repositories of radioactive waste. It is recognized that the strength as...

Advanced probabilistic analysis of reinforced soil slopes

Technologies to improve the ground in civil engineering earthworks such as retaining walls, slopes andembankments are advancing rapidly. As just one example, retaining walls constructed with horizontal layers ofadvanced polymeric soil reinforcement sheets have been demonstrated to reduce the...

Development of a macro element for seismic SSI Analysis of shallow foundations

2014/15-2015/16 • $28,572

The objective of the proposed research is to develop a macro element for a soil-shallow foundation system that can take into account the inelastic behaviour of near-field soil as well as the frequency-dependent dynamic impedance of far-field soil. The element will greatly simplify the modelling...

Numerical modelling methods for seismic soil-structure-interaction analysis

2013/14 • $25,000

The research aims to understand the accuracy and limitations of commonly used numerical modelling methods for seismic soil-structure-interaction (SSI) analysis. To accurately simulate the seismic SSI effect, it is necessary to model various components such as seismic wave propagation from...
