TY - JOUR AU - Jim Shiau, AU - Mathew Sams, AU - Brian Lamb, PY - 2021/11/23 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - INTRODUCING ADVANCED TOPICS IN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING TEACHING – TUNNEL MODELLING JF - GEOMATE Journal JA - INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GEOMATE VL - 10 IS - 19 SE - Articles DO - UR - https://geomatejournal.com/geomate/article/view/2013 SP - 1698-1705 AB - <p>This paper demonstrates a strategy to integrate research into teaching at a postgraduate level. It involves the <br>use of simple small-scale physical models of a tunnel heading, the introduction of particle image velocimetry, an <br>advanced computing technique used to further visualize the movement of soil, and a numerical model of a tunnel <br>heading. Based on staff experience and student feedback, it is concluded that this is an effective and satisfying <br>way to engage students with the subject matter. It is also hoped that discussing and displaying some of these <br>advanced topics will encourage further student interest in geotechnical engineering research.</p> ER -
