Grants
Funding Professor Tommy Chan has received over $ 10 million in research funding List of Selected Awarded Grants Within the broad field of structural engineering, Prof Chan and his research team have been granted funds to conduct the following research projects:
- 2022-Now: Next Generation Bridge Monitoring using Novel Synergic Identification : Australia Research Council Discovery Project Grants Funding: A$403,000.00. Over 70% of the bridges in Australia are made of prestressed concrete, yet many do not meet the requirements of current Australian Standards. This project aims to provide a cost-effective system for monitoring bridges in real time along with systems that track the prestressing force and rate of damage for ongoing health assessment and necessary repairs. The use of innovative engineering techniques, solving long standing problems of engineers, will enable the safe operation of bridges, which play a primary role in Australia’s national transport system. Improved methodology for turning tired infrastructure into ‘smart bridges’ will be developed and commissioned first in Australia and then applied internationally.
- 2021- Now: ARC Industry Transformation Research Hub for Resilient and Intelligent Infrastructure Systems (RIIS) in Urban, Resources and Energy Sectors: Australia Research Council Industrial Transformation Research Hubs Grants Funding: A$4,980,000. RIIS will deliver transformational technologies to address Australia’s critical infrastructure needs. It will integrate advances in sensor technology, connectivity, data analytics, machine learning, robotics, smart materials, and reliable models to deliver resilient and adaptive infrastructure systems in urban, energy and resources sectors. All three sectors are critical to Australia's prosperity and well-being. It will engage with industry, government, and community to unlock scientific roadblock, deliver foundational skills, and translate research and development to commercial opportunities. Benefits include: improved productivity, competitiveness, resiliency, safety; growth, job creation; technological leadership, and export potential.
- 2020-Now: Mitigating Vehicular Crashes into Masonry Buildings : Australia Research Council Discovery Project Grants Funding: A$415,000. Around 2000 vehicles crash annually into school, home and shop buildings located at close proximity to heavily trafficked roads in Australia and cause significant distress to occupants of building and vehicle. The impacted walls mostly of masonry, suffer severe damage often with vehicle intrusion into the building. Despite this, the intrusion mechanism is not understood and no effective mitigation strategies exist at present. This project will uncover the mechanics of vehicle intrusions through masonry walls and develop novel mitigation strategies using high energy absorbing auxetic composite render and innovative vibration isolation at wall edges. These innovations will lead to new theories that can save lives in the building and vehicle.
- 2018-Now: Automated monitoring and analytics for settlements of geotechnical structures using Internet of GNSS Things : Funded by the Innovative Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (IMCRC): A$1,000,000. Monitoring the settlements of civil structures, such as roads, bridges, buildings, is a compulsory operation from start of construction. Engineering surveyors use levelling instruments to measure the vertical changes of the settlement plates periodically. This approach is labour-intensive and costly, considering the tens to hundreds of settlement plates needed in a large project. This project aims to develop and demonstrate an effective Internet of Things (IoT) solution to automatically measure the settlement and deformation of civil structures using the state-of-art low-medium-end Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) sensors. The proposed participants include Monitum Pty Ltd, Protonautics Pty Ltd and Queensland University of Technology. The manufacturing outcomes include the automated and analytic system that demonstrate how the settlements of a civil structures are monitored with hundreds of waterproof GNSS sensing units to be installed on settlement posts, the IoT service platform, the advanced GNSS data processing and structure health monitoring analytic applications.
- 2016-2020: Development of Intelligent Structures that can Self-Evaluate Deterioration : Australia Research Council Discovery Project Grants Funding: A$360,000. This project will transform traditional civil structures into intelligent (or smart) structures by installing in them innovative structural evaluation systems that can accurately identify current and future structural deterioration conditions and automatically notify the infrastructure management authority for timely and prudent maintenance schedules. This can be achieved with very few inexpensive vibration sensors operated in either conventional or modern sensing platforms.
- 2013-2016: Next Generation Prestressed Concrete Bridges using Moving Force Identification: Australia Research Council Discovery Project Grants Funding: A$300,000.This project will enhance the safety of prestressed concrete bridges which constitute 70% of Australian bridges and hence provide economic benefits. The procedure developed can evaluate the health status of these bridges and the prestressing force which was hitherto difficult to determine, even though it controls bridge load carrying capacity.
- 2014-2015: SHM of Bridges for Post Disaster Decision, Research in Business, Funding, A$100,000, supported by Rockfield Technologies Australia Pty Ltd and Department of Industry - Enterprise Connect. This project investigates the application of Structural Health Monitoring technogies to help asset owners to make decision after extreme events.
- 2011-2013: Life Cycle Management of Railway Bridge Sponsors: CRC for Rail Innovation Funding: A$751,000 This project will develop a long term/strategic Asset Management Plan for the life cycle of bridges adopting an Effective Monitoring System integrating with an Updateable Bridge Rating System.
- 2010: Australian crashworthiness design scenarios for rolling stock Sponsors: CRC for Rail Innovation Funding: A$232,000 This project will survey a number of recent significant Australian rail accidents in detail and on the basis of these, and the scenarios used in overseas crashworthiness standards, consider whether there is a need to develop scenarios for inclusion into the RISSB AS 7520 "Railway rolling stock - Body structural requirements" standards for locomotive and passenger rolling stock.
- 2007-2014: Monitoring and Maintaining the Structural Health of Bridges Using Vibration Characteristics Sponsors: Australia Research Council Grants Funding: A$219,000 This project will develop an innovative structural health monitoring system using sensors, damage detection models and dynamic computer simulation techniques to assess bridge health, predict distress and recommend retrofitting.
