Subbase degradation: permeability and strength reductions by means of breakage soil mechanics

How exactly should grain crushing be introduced to model permeability and strength reductions? The answer of this question will be the primary objective of this PhD research, which more...

Dissipative pressure waves and the mechanics of granular materials

This project will experimentally investigate damage zones around seismogenic faults. This will be achieved through examining a novel basic mechanism for instability in solids: volum more...

Image analysis of the kinematics and size reduction of grains in cataclasis

The experimental challenges in this research will be quite unique in that we will endeavor to see and thereafter analyse the kinematics and the grain size reduction using two novel more...

Crushable granular flows

In both earthquakes and landslides, grains are often crushed during flow. This changes the flowing behaviour, and causes the flow to accelerate. This project will develop an experim more...

Dynamic Responses of Granular Materials to Impact Loading

This project aims to experimentally investigate the dynamic responses of granular materials to high strain rates loading using split Hopkinson bar. The experimental data will be use more...
