In 2019, four Final Year students have joined E3GEO for their Bachelor degree research.

All have worked very hard during this year and finally got approval for their Bachelor in Engineering. 

Theses topics are:

Lt. Jake Finnane: Strength durability characteristics of...

At UNSW Canberra, the E3GEO has recently established our own modified hole-erosion test apparatus to assess and evaluate the erosion behavior of sands via internal flows (e.g. piping).

Thanks to Sojeong's wonderful design and the professional fabrication by our Workshop...

E3GEO members - Dr. Ilhan Chang, Sojeong Lee, Jooyoung Im, and Yeong-Man Kwon - have traveled to Taipei, Taiwan to attend the 16th Asian Regional Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (October 14~17, 2019).

The conference was held at the Taipei Inter...

After last year's successful attempt using laboratory hydraulic flume for levee model erosion assessment, E3GEO members at UNSW are opening spring with a hectic mode in hydraulic flume testing nowadays. 

We are attempting different BPTS (biopolymer-treated soi...

Minhyeong Lee has joined E3GEO at UNSW commencing on August 12, 2019

Minhyeong immediately started experimental studies on the internal erosion behavior simulation of BPTS (biopolymer-treated soil) levee models using hydraulic flume apparatus since he joined UNSW Canbe...

On May 29, 2019 An T.P. Tran had her final Ph.D. thesis assessment with the committee members.

An's Ph.D. topic is "Characterization of Biopolymer-treated soils Considering Soil-Water-Hydrogel Interaction" which consists 1) Soil-water characteristic of biopolymer-treate...

Dr. Ilhan Chang was invited by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), KAIST to deliver a research seminar to Graduate students and hold a mentoring program with Undergraduate students at KAIST on May 28, 2019.

It was good to meet young and passiona...

Dr. Chang visited KICT (Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology) on May 27, 2019 to deliver a research talk invited by the Multi Disaster Countermeasures Organization (Director: Dr. Yong Baek).
Dr. Chang presented about "BST for sustainable geotech...

Jake and Sojeong made almost hundred gellan gum-treated sand samples in a day.

Despite gellan gum treatment requires thermo-gelation, Sojeong and Jake handled well with growing and growing skills.

After a month, we will start various durability assessments on these sampl...

Four Year-4 Undergraduate students have joined the E3GEO for their Final Year Project (FYP) research. 

It is a compulsary for all students in the Civil Engineering discipline to complete their FYP to receive their Bacheler degree at UNSW Canberra.

After a month of prelim...
