Soil dynamics at extreme deformations

该项目旨在对具有挑战性的岩土工程问题进行基础研究，其中土壤经历大应变和快速变形。该项目的主要目标是发现在大而快的变形速率下土壤行为的基本原理。预期的成果是一个创新的测试设备，现场调查的目的，和强大的解决方案和计算程序，用于分析广泛的土壤动力学问题。这将使政府和工程师受益，为澳大利亚基础设施的设计、建设和维护提供更安全、更具成本效益的战略。

This project aims to conduct a fundamental study of a challenging class of geotechnical problems in which soil undergoes large strains and rapid deformations. The main goal of this project is to discover the fundamental principles governing soil behaviour at large and fast deformation rates. The expected outcomes are an innovative testing device for site investigation purposes, and robust solution and computational procedures for analysing a wide range of problems in soil dynamics. This should benefit government and engineers by providing safer and more cost-effective strategies for the design, construction, and maintenance of Australia's infrastructure.
