This project aims to develop a novel cost-effective and eco-friendly method to stabilise soil foundation for faster and heavier rail transport. The scientific knowledge of cyclic behaviour capturing localised and microscale evolutions of railway foundation will be advanced significantly via innovative physical modelling using iconic facilities with state-of-the-art sensors, and sophisticated numerical modelling. The project will yield a natural biopolymer-based solution for mud pumping railways, i.e., a critical issue causing substantial annual maintenance cost and poor transport efficiency in Australia and worldwide. The outcomes will greatly benefit transport infrastructure, mining, agriculture, environment and climate change remediation.

该项目旨在开发一种新颖的成本效益和环保方法，以稳定土壤基础，以使其更快，更重的铁路运输。通过使用具有最先进的传感器的标志性设施以及复杂的数值建模的标志性设施，通过创新的物理建模以及精致的数值建模，将对捕获铁路基础的局部和显微镜进化的循环行为的科学知识。该项目将产生一种基于自然的生物聚合物的解决方案，用于冰泵铁路，即在澳大利亚和全球范围内导致大量年度维护成本和运输效率较差的关键问题。这些结果将极大地使运输基础设施，采矿，农业，环境和气候变化修复。
