Mechanics of dynamic loading and rapid penetration of soils

该项目将产生更好的理解和新的数值工具，以便能够以成本效益高的方式对物体快速渗透到地面以及对大多数建筑工地使用的压实过程进行模拟和建模。自由落体渗透仪的开发将使土壤强度能够在偏远地点确定，例如大洋海床、丛林、沼泽。该项目还将协助选择压实设备和程序。

The project will produce improved understanding and new numerical tools that will permit cost effective simulation and modelling of rapid penetration of objects into the ground, and of the compaction processes used on the majority of construction sites. The free fall penetrometer will be developed to enable soil strength to be determined at remote sites, e.g. ocean seabed, jungles, swamps. The project will also assist in the selection of compaction equipment and procedures.
