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.

填海软土的强度与固结工程。本项目旨在通过控制干燥来加固吹填软土。软土是澳大利亚和世界各地许多工业部门面临的重大工程挑战。疏浚软土的处理是昂贵和耗时的，软尾矿的失效是一场环境灾难，可能导致生命损失和采矿生产中断。该项目将研究材料行为的基本过程，开发新的电磁测量和建模方法，以预测干燥过程中微观和宏观尺度的材料强度。新方法有望为软土承载力和沉降问题提供创新解决方案。
