- This paper introduced and validated a theoretical framework for predicting enhanced foundation capacity from self-weight consolidation, unlocking a reduction in footprint area, yielding economies in installation. The framework has triggered new research and industry (Shell, Woodside, LR, BV) funding to extend the concept to other boundary conditions (ARC DP140100684 £150k, ARC IH140100012, £6M, RAEng CIET £2.78M). Body of resulting work has led to keynotes (ICPMG 2018, ISFOG 2020), journal publications, and inclusion of phenomenon in revision of ISO 19901-4 (2021). Freeware based on this body of work www.webappsforengineers.com has had 85,000 hits from 40 countries since launched in April 2016.
