Ground penetrating radars (GPR) are used in a many diverse applications.

Determining the water retention behaviour of unsaturated hydrophobic granular soils

Closing Date:

Monday, October 21, 2024

Hydrophobic granular soils are under investigation for constructing roads on frost-susceptible soils in China and the US, in preference to cementitious stabilisation.

Winter events celebrate student achievement

The School recently honoured the accomplishments of our students at two winter celebration events - Winter Graduation and a prize giving ceremony.

Exploring how hydrophobic soil layers govern debris flow formation after wildfires

Closing Date:

Thursday, January 4, 2024

Summary

This project will explore, through laboratory testing, how the formation of hydrophobic soil layers initiates deadly debris flows after wildfires.

Debris flow formation: a) vegetated slope; b) wildfire creates a thermal gradient within the soil and volatises organic matter; c) formation of a hydrophobic soil layer; d) rainfall saturates upper soil layers; e) soil slope stability is exceeded and a debris flow initiates
