Current design methods used for Controlled Modulus Column-supported embankments are outdated and uneconomical.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.

当前用于控制模量柱支撑堤的设计方法已过时且不经济。该项目旨在使用创新的数值和图像处理技术来开发使用100％可回收，环保且高度耐用的EPS Geofoam的新设计方法。由于在安装过程中形成涂片区域和对附近柱子的损坏，结果将提高柱子轴承能力增加的基本知识。将为工程师制定数值工具和设计指南。好处包括设计和建造更轻，更便宜，更安全，更稳定的路堤，并从澳大利亚未来的基础设施发展中获得了巨大的成本和环境增长。
