SUMMARY:Excavation support fluids: from failure to fruition - Prof Stephan
  Jefferis\, Visiting Fellow at the Department of Engineering Science\, Uni
 versity of Oxford

DESCRIPTION:A discussion of the behaviour of excavation support fluids in 
 piling\, diaphragm walling\, horizontal directional drilling and tunnellin
 g with an analysis of the fluid properties that are important for each of 
 these processes. In particular the lessons that can be learned from the ev
 olution of a new class of support fluid –PHPA polymer fluids\, which\, a
 fter early failures\, are now widely used especially in piling. The semina
 r will develop and update some of the themes from the 2022 Rankine lecture
 .
