Warmer temperatures, extreme droughts, and more intensive convective storms are accelerating deterioration of slopes, degrading resilience. There is an urgent need to understand why, and anticipate when, slope failures occur to enable targeted and timely preventative actions.
This PhD will take advantage of the National Engineered Slope Simulator (NESS); a unique, large-scale (5×3×2 m, 45-tonne samples), configurable, climate-controlled testing facility for slope stability. A suite of instrumentation enables monitoring of stresses, strains, deformation, pore pressures, suctions, moisture content, photogrammetry and more.
Depending on the selected PhD candidate’s strengths and interests, the project could take a range of directions:
Dr Alister Smith is Reader (Associate Professor) in Geotechnics and is Director of the National Engineered Slope Simulator.
