FL250100156 – Next-generation geotechnologies for high-speed and heavy-haul rail
Professor Sheng aims to develop advanced geotechnical tools to support the design of high-speed and heavy-haul rail infrastructure. This project will create new computational methods to predict serviceability, hazards, and risks for large geo-structures under fast-moving loads. The outcomes will include improved cost estimation and reliability for rail projects, addressing current barriers to development. The research will also support economic growth in regional areas and build globally recognised geotechnical expertise in Australia.
