Funded Activity Summary

Two-scale modelling of geomaterials. Engineering structures such as buildings, highways, bridges, tunnels, dams and offshore oil platforms are all built on or in soils and rocks. The ability to predict the response of these materials under various loading conditions is therefore of major importance in civil engineering design. The traditional method in modelling these materials requires extensive and often costly experimental data. The proposed micro-macro modelling approach will enable us to take advantage of the fast-growing computing power to release some of the pressure in geotechnical testing. It will also improve the quality of engineering analysis and hence leads to more efficient and effective engineering design.
