Research Projects

Not started projects

National Rock, Concrete and Advanced Composite Testing Capability

The aim of the project is to develop a National Hybrid Biaxial/True Triaxial Load Testing Facility that will uniquely serve the increasing needs of geotechnical, structural, mining and materials researchers and engineers for sophisticated testing capability. The facility will accommodate cubic specimens up to 300 mm and be capable of applying 10 MPa stress in up to three orthogonal directions at that size. It will be equipped with temperature and relative humidity control, and have the capability for testing under saturated and unsaturated conditions. State-ofthe-
art monitoring equipment will enable the assessment of the degree of damage caused by testing, simulating damage induced by blasting, cutting, static loading and/or impact.

Current projects

An Advanced, Macro-scale, hydro-thermo-mechanical Testing Chamber for sustainable deep geological applications

The deep Earth offers significant promise for enhanced sustainability, including novel options for resource
development and pollutant storage. A firm understanding of expected engineering behaviour is key to
successful ultilisation of the deep Earth. Engineers and geologists from nine leading Australian universities
are developing a new large-scale device capable of recreating ground conditions at depths up to 13km. The
Advanced Macro-scale Testing Chamber (AMTC) will be used to study hydro-thermo-mechanical aspects of
deep geological applications, including carbon dioxide storage, enhanced geothermal energy and
unconventional hydrocarbon reservoir development. The AMTC will also have capacity to study mechanisms
leading to earthquakes.

Enhanced Prediction of Landfill Gas Emissions Through Geosynthetic Systems

Landfill gas represents an opportunity for electricity generation and carbon abatement: it needs not be managed solely for environmental, health or safety risk reasons. However, our ability to predict gas collection and fugitive emissions from landfills capped with geosynthetics liners, in consideration of the myriad of factors that control these processes, is imperfect. Building on recent advances in unsaturated soil mechanics, the project will conduct cutting-edge experimental and theoretical research to develop an experimentally-validated theory of gas migration through geosynthetics systems that will lead to major improvement in performance and will provide integrated design tools which are much needed but are currently not available

Waste Containment Lining Systems for Antarctica: Ensuring their Performance Under Extreme Conditions

The Australian Antarctic Territory, and elsewhere on the continent, has a legacy of diesel fuel spills. This
project aims to better protect the Antarctic environment through a combination of innovative on-site
containment and remediation, with state-of-art laboratory based experimentation to underpin improved
design of engineered geosynthetic composite containments. Currently Australia leads other Antarctic
countries in the clean-up of contaminated sites and this project seeks to extend this leadership by developing
a set of guidelines for containment of contaminated soils to safeguard this unique environment.

The National Geotechnical Centrifuge Facility

Soil behavior is stress dependent and requires enhanced gravity levels to ensure correct scaling between large geotechnical structures and small laboratory models. A geotechnical beam centrifuge, 10 m in diameter and capable of rotating 2400 kg of soil at 100 g, will provide Australia’s outstanding geotechnical research groups, including the recently established ARC CoE for Geo technical Science and Engineering, with world leading physical modelling capabilities. The national facility will underpin Australia’s energy, mineral and transport infrastructure developments, estimated at $250B over the next five years, through accurate model testing of offshore foundations, slopes, tunnels, mine wastes and ground improvement techniques.

Gas permeability of geomembrane-geosynthetic clay liner composite liners

National Facility for Cyclic Testing of High-speed Rail (FCTHSR)

Frontier technologies in rail transport demand access to state-of-the-art testing facilities for track modelling.
The proposed National Facility for Cyclic Testing of High-Speed Rail (FCTHSR) is internationally a first-of-itskind
and it will be designed and built in-house for examining an array of Australian ground conditions and
integrated track components. This unique facility will offer a national and international hub for industry-driven
research and consulting. The project outcomes will propel more Australian researchers to be among the
world-leaders of rail technologies providing better solutions to challenging track environments. Prototype
testing will ensure safer and cost-effective track designs.

Monotonic and cyclic interface behaviour of calcarenite-concrete under constant normal stiffness conditions

Assessment of microstructure changes in soils with high sulphate contents subjected to soil mixing processes

Improved predictions of greenhouse gas transfers in landfill composite liner covers containing geomembrane defects

Significant uncertainties remain concerning the amount of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, emitted
from individual landfills and the effectiveness of gas capture in Australia and overseas. Part of these
uncertainties is due to the poor understanding of the fundamental mechanisms that govern gas flow in
composite geomembrane capping systems and the effect of the presence of defects and wrinkles in
geomembranes on gas flow. This project aims to reduce these uncertainties by developing new gas flow
models coupled with experimental investigation to allow for better estimates of gas fugitive emissions thereby
leading to improved engineering design and better environmental protection.

Fluid loss of the bentonite component of a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL)

Assessment of the Performance of Geomembranes and Geocomposite Liners for Sort to Long Term Containment of Contaminated Soil in the Antarctic

An experimentally-validated hermo-hydro-mechanical theory for waste containment lining systems

A large number of extraction, mining and waste industries in Australia and overseas rely on geosynthetic containment systems combining geomembranes (GM) and geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) to prevent groundwater contamination. When high temperatures and/or salts are present with low overburden pressure (eg brine ponds on coal seam gas sites), the risk of desiccation and failure of GCLs rises substantially. Building on recent advances in unsaturated soil mechanics, the project will conduct cutting-edge experimental, theoretical and computational research in order to develop an experimentally validated theory of behavior of GCLs under high temperature, low pressure and salt gradients, that will lead to a major improvement in performance.

Turning pile foundations into sources of renewable energy: addressing remaining geotechnical challenges

Heat exchanger pile foundations are increasingly used to improve the energy efficiency of buildings and reduce their carbon footprint. However their geotechnical performance when subjected to heating and cooling processes is not well understood.
We aim to develop full understanding of the fundamental mechanisms controlling the thermo-mechanical behavior of heat exchanger piles using large scale field tests. The project will make a breakthrough in understanding the influence of temperature cycles on pile group behavior and shaft resistance. This will lead to improved design, greater confidence in heat exchanger pile systems by the engineering community and more reliable low carbon technology.

Improved Landfill Barrier Design for Changing Climates

Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) serve an important function in modern lining systems in municipal and hazardous waste containment facilities, which are critical infrastructure providing essential community services. However, recent field observations indicate that GCLs may be susceptible to dehydration and shrinkage due to thermal effects, potentially allowing transfer of contaminants into the environment. We aim to develop a full understanding of the fundamental mechanisms causing failures of GCLs due to solar radiation and seasonal climate induced thermal cycling. This will lead to improved lining barrier design and greater confidence in GCL-based lining systems by the engineering and waste industry communities.

Development of a new technique to improve very soft soils using geogrid wrapped stone columns

Many large Australian infrastructure projects will be developed in regions with inherently poor soil conditions. Port developments, for instance, are by their nature located in river estuaries which are characterized by deep deposits of soft alluvial soils. Many highway projects also traverse low-lying ground or coastal regions with soft soil conditions. This project will develop a novel technique to improve the engineering characteristics of very soft soils (shear strength lower than 15 kPa) by using geogrid wrapped stone columns. The effectiveness of this technique will be investigated in both small scale laboratory tests and field trials.

Advanced Nanocomposites for Enhanced Containment of Hyper-Saline Leachate

Due to their hyper-saline chemistries, leachates and process waters from mining and industry pose long-term threats to Australian groundwater. This project aims to develop effective, inexpensive and robust nanotechnologically based hydraulic barriers capable of retaining optimal attenuation performance to hyper-saline waters, and contaminants they may carry. Innovative features include green sourcing and synthesis of materials and in situ synthesis and polymerisation options. The multidisciplinary approach brings together experts in geotechnical engineering, organic and inorganic chemistry and spectroscopy to maximise the probability of successful outcomes.

Hydraulic durability of geosynthetic clay liners in steep slope sealing systems for landfills constructed in former quarries

Old quarries are increasingly used for the construction of landfills. The engineering challenge in constructing such landfills includes developing an appropriate lining system for the often steep sided quarry walls. The use of GCLs as part of the lining system can be a viable and a cost effective solution. However, this solution suffers from the lack of meaningful data on their hydraulic durability in this particular situation. This proposal presents an original approach to investigate this durability under operating conditions typically encountered in steep sided quarries. This work is expected to provide benefits to waste containment efforts at national and international level.

Development of technical parameters for long-term containment facility performance requirements

Prediction and controlling of pipe failures in buried water and gas pipe systems

Australian buried water and gas pipe networks extend over hundred thousand kilometers. As these pipe systems age, pipe failures have also increased, leading to wastage of valuable commodity and increasing social and economic costs to the community. Effective pipe asset management tools are urgently needed to maintain reliable and safe supply of these essential services. There is clear evidence that pipe failures are significantly related to soil behavior influenced by seasonal climatic conditions. The current asset management models do not adequately consider these issues. This project will develop methodologies for predicting and controlling the failure of buried water and gas pipes for effective pipe asset management.

Gas Advective and Diffusive Flux Through Geosynthetic Clay Liners and Composite Caps

Advanced Testing Facility for Geological Sequestration of Greenhouse Gases

A facility for the analysis of geological materials and their geo-thermal-mechanical interactions with complex fluids (such as carbon dioxide CO2, water, methane) is required to support a large number of research projects in high priority areas including geological sequestration of greenhouse gases and oil/gas recovery at three different leading Universities. The unique features of the proposed facility are that it is capable of analysis large samples, under multiple forms of loading and over a range of high pressures and temperatures. This will enable us to do proper design, management, and optimization of subsurface CO2 sequestration operations for safe storage of CO2 in geological formations.

Experimental and theoretical analysis of gas leakage rate through composite landfill covers due to geomembrane defects

Engineered composite barrier layers comprising geosynthetic clay liners and geomembranes are extensively used in cover systems to control egress of gas and minimise ingress of water into landfills. Field experience indicates that gas migration can occur through defects in the geomembrane and potentially causes serious environmental and health risk problems. The chief aim of this project is to develop a new method for analyzing the gas leakage rate through composite barriers. This development will facilitate the use of advanced methods of analysis by practicing engineers, thereby leading to improved engineering design and better protection of human health and the environment.

Hydro-mechanical interactions in coal geo-sequestration of carbon dioxide

Geo-sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) is considered the most promising technology to reduce atmospheric release of CO2. The storage of CO2 in deep unmineable coal deposits has many advantages that include: a high storage capacity, high permeability, and the release of methane, a valuable resource. However, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the impact of CO2 on the mechanical properties of the coal. This project aims to reduce these uncertainties by experimental investigations of the transport of CO2 through coal, and the effects this has on the mechanical properties. The data will be used to develop new coupled numerical models that will be used to investigate the procedures required for successful sequestration.

Influence of scale effect on the strength of rock mass for the better prediction of slope stability in large open-cut mines

The research project will concentrate primarily on understanding the mechanisms of slope failure in large and deep open cut mines with the goal of developing improved assessment criteria for designing rock slopes. Mechanisms governing shape, location and propagation of slope failure surfaces are highly dependent on in situ and induced stresses, strength of rock mass, and induced pore water pressure. Accurate determination of rock mass strength and their use in slope stability analysis will enable mining engineers to develop improved slope design methodologies which will enable them to enhance the safety of the mine workers and to reduce lost time and increase the production.
