Current design methods used for Controlled Modulus Column-supported embankments are outdated and uneconomical. This project aims to use innovative numerical and image processing techniques to develop new design methods that use 100% recyclable, environmentally friendly and highly durable EPS geofoam. Outcomes will advance the fundamental knowledge of bearing capacity increase of columns due to formation of smear zone and damages to nearby columns during installation. Numerical tools and design guidelines will be developed for engineers. The benefits include the design and construction of lighter, cheaper, safer and more stable embankments with significant cost and environmental gains from future infrastructure developments in Australia.

现行的控制模量柱支承结构设计方法已过时且不经济。该项目旨在利用创新的数字和图像处理技术开发新的设计方法，使用100%可回收，环保和高度耐用的EPS土工泡沫。研究结果将有助于进一步认识由于涂抹区的形成和安装过程中对相邻柱的损伤而导致的柱承载力提高。将为工程师开发数字工具和设计指南。这些好处包括设计和建造更轻、更便宜、更安全和更稳定的设备，并从澳大利亚未来的基础设施发展中获得显著的成本和环境效益。
