Summary
Visit our website: http://www.civil.usyd.edu.au/cgr/research.shtml Research in Geotechnical engineering covers a wide range of topics from the movement of pollutants in the ground to investigation of the behaviour of conventional foundations. Work is being carried out on the movement of piles due to excavation and tunnelling, the properties of shales in the Sydney region, the lateral loading of piled rafts, hyperplasticity and its application to soil-structure interaction, numerical modelling of pollution migration, and the inclined loading of footings.We are always looking for research students in the geotechnical field
