Teaching Specialisations:
1. Fundamental and Applied Geomechanics
2. Ground Improvement
3. Advanced Rail Geotechnology
Buddhima Indraratna is a world authority on the application of fundamental and applied geotechnical research to the development of railway infrastructure, and he is passionate about training young engineers to become masters of railroad design and construction.
Buddhima’s research interests include soft soil engineering and ground improvement, transportation geomechanics, jointed rock engineering, and dams and embankment engineering. He has consistently led numerous research projects worth millions of dollars and founded the Australian Research Council’s Industrial Transformation Training Centre, ITTC-Rail as its inaugural Director in 2018.
A consultant to various geotechnical and rail organisations around the world, he is also among the most highly cited researchers internationally. He has published over 850 papers, including 12 books and about 450 journal papers, and has delivered over 70 invited keynote papers on all continents.
A Distinguished Professor at UTS, Buddhima’s pioneering contributions to geotechnical and railway engineering have been acknowledged through numerous national and international accolades, including the 1st Ralph Proctor Lecture and the 4th Louis Menard Lecture of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), and the pinnacle individual award for outstanding contributions to railways from the combined Engineers Australia and Railway Technical Society of Australia (RTSA), which he received at NSW Parliament House in 2015.
His outstanding contributions to Australian Transport Geotechnics have been recognised by several prestigious awards, including the Business-Higher Education Round Table (BHIRT) award hosted by the Australian Commonwealth (2009), and the Engineers Australia Transport Medal (2011). In 2009, he delivered the prestigious EH Davis Memorial Lecture of Australian Geomechanics Society for distinguished contributions to theory and practice of geomechanics.
Internationally, his significant contributions are reflected by many awards, for instance, the Thomas Telford Premium by the UK’s Institution of Civil Engineers (2015), Robert Quigley Award from the Canadian Geotechnical Society (2012), and the Medal of Excellence for life-time contributions from the International Association of Computer Methods and Advances in Geomechanics (2017).
Buddhima is a Fellow of the prestigious Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (FTSE), as well as a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers Australia (FIEAust), the American Society of Civil Engineers (FASCE), and the Geological Society of UK (FGS).
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Since the early 1990s in Australian academia, I have pioneered fundamental and applied research in the disciplines of rail geotechnics, ground improvement and road embankments with special reference to soft soil foundations. I was instrumental in the successful bid for the first CRC for Railway Engineering in 1999 (Federal Government initiative) and became the founding Director of Centre for Geomechanics and Railway Engineering. My contributions through research to innovative design and construction practices in rail track engineering and problematic ground improvement for stabilising transport infrastructure have made a significant impact worldwide.
My career is characterised by research excellence, close collaboration with industry and the implementation of innovative research-based solutions. Over two decades, my research encompasses a wide spectrum of applications from theory to practice, particularly in transportation geomechanics.
I have developed an international reputation for: [a] conceptualisation and design innovation for stabilising rail and road embankments built over soft foundations; [b] novel analytical techniques and design procedures for high speed rail tracks capturing the role of ballast degradation, track confinement and subgrade deformation; [c] dams and embankment design and associated filtration and drainage; [d] analysis of jointed and porous media and stability implications on transport infrastructure; [e] Geoenvironmental engineering with particular emphasis on Acid Sulphate Soils remediation and utilisation of waste materials.
The above contributions have been instrumental in changing the often conservative industry practices, including revisions to some Australian Standards.
