Civil, Structural,
Environmental and Sustainable
Development
The research topics grouped under the
umbrella of this
division may be loosely categorised as those addressing issues related
to civil engineering problems.
The work of the Geotechnical group is based on the principles of soil
mechanics which can address topics as diverse as clean-up of
contaminated land and assessing the effects of earthquakes, to the
design of underground spaces.
Structures research covers a wide range of topics from the structure of
a DNA molecule, to the safety of bridges to the design of deployable
structures to be used in outer space.
The Centre for Sustainable Development addresses the growing concern of
all engineers to ensure their projects are sustainable within the
context of today's society.
