Image Description
Professor Carter has made fundamental contributions to the science of computational and experimental geomechanics. He has devised new analytical solutions and has been the architect of novel numerical methods which enable engineers to predict with greater confidence and accuracy the response of many geotechnical structures. He has derived important new constitutive models of soil and rock behaviour, with emphasis on structured soils and jointed rocks. The outcomes of his ground-breaking research have been applied to the design of a variety engineering structures including foundations for offshore oil and gas production facilities and in complex, non-linear and time-dependent soil-structure interaction problems.
