The Australian Council of Trade Unions has welcomed Labor’s plan to give casual workers the option of permanent work rights. Others say more needs to be done to resolve the “casual problem”. Jim McIlroy reports.
Based on a two-layered viscous fluid theory, a numerical model to capture the progressive nature of wave-induced liquefaction has been developed. Unlike the existing models, this model can consider the cyclic shear stress associated with vibrating liquefied soil layers and its effect on sub-liquefied soils during the wave-induced liquefaction. The reliability of this model is validated by simulating wave flume tests, which show a promising prediction when compared to analytical solutions, particularly after the onset of liquefaction where an increased amplitude in the oscillatory pore water pr...
