Efficient Computational Strategies for Three-Dimensional Limit Analysis

目的：开发新的计算方法和软件，用于预测隧道、道路、港口和基础等民用基础设施的故障。 重要意义：未来五年，澳大利亚将在交通和其他已建成的基础设施上投入2000多亿美元。该项目将制定新的方法和计算机程序，以支持该基础设施的岩土设计。重点将放在针对三维问题和复杂地面条件的有效计算方案上，在这些情况下，目前的程序是不充分的。 预期成果和效益：在科学出版物和软件的支持下，在设计更便宜和更安全的基础设施的计算方法方面处于国际领先地位。

AIMS: To develop new computational methods and software for predicting the failure of civil infrastructure such as tunnels, roads, ports and foundations. SIGNIFICANCE: Australia will spend over $200 billion over the next five years on transport and other built infrastructure. This project will formulate new methods and computer programs to underpin the geotechnical design of this infrastructure. Emphasis will be placed on efficient computational schemes for three-dimensional problems and complex ground conditions, where current procedures are inadequate. EXPECTED OUTCOMES AND BENEFITS: International leadership in computational methods for designing cheaper and safer infrastructure, supported by scientific publications and software.
