Summary
ARC Training Centre for Whole Life Design of Carbon Neutral Infrastructure. This Centre aims to transform the capability of civil infrastructure stakeholders to design, construct, operate and dispose of infrastructure in a carbon neutral way. By training industry-embedded PhDs and postdocs in the methodology and technology required to design out excess carbon of infrastructure in its whole life, this Centre expects to lead the world in sustainable infrastructure design, enabling a new generation ....ARC Training Centre for Whole Life Design of Carbon Neutral Infrastructure. This Centre aims to transform the capability of civil infrastructure stakeholders to design, construct, operate and dispose of infrastructure in a carbon neutral way. By training industry-embedded PhDs and postdocs in the methodology and technology required to design out excess carbon of infrastructure in its whole life, this Centre expects to lead the world in sustainable infrastructure design, enabling a new generation of infrastructure design in Australia and internationally. Achieving carbon neutral infrastructure in its whole life will bring significant far-reaching benefits, including equipping industry with tools required to meet Australia’s emission reduction targets as well as economic, commercial, environmental, and social gains.Read moreRead less

Funding Amount
$417,125.00
Summary
Next-generation system resilience-based design of infrastructure facilities. This project aims to develop a framework for system resilience-based design of infrastructure facilities. In Australia, the costs of natural disasters will rise to $33B per year by 2050 unless steps are taken to guarantee resilience. This project expects to quantify the impacts that structural deterioration, external hazards, and component interaction have on infrastructure resilience. Expected outcomes include new prac ....Next-generation system resilience-based design of infrastructure facilities. This project aims to develop a framework for system resilience-based design of infrastructure facilities. In Australia, the costs of natural disasters will rise to $33B per year by 2050 unless steps are taken to guarantee resilience. This project expects to quantify the impacts that structural deterioration, external hazards, and component interaction have on infrastructure resilience. Expected outcomes include new practices for resilience-based structural design, reflecting a next-generation evolution of design philosophy. Expected benefits stem from the development of novel decision-making tools for community planners and designers that will guarantee the resilience of infrastructure systems, and thus mitigate hazard-induced damage costs.Read moreRead less
