Career Summary
Biography
Professor Fityus has made many contributions to a wide range of research areas with a large number of co-researchers. His research interests are spread across fields in geomechanics, geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering and engineering geology. Geomaterials studied include granular soils, soft/estuarine soils, expansive/cracked clay soils, unsaturated soils and residual soils. Issues studied include foundation movements, foundation capacity, slope stability, contaminant transport, permeability and hydraulic conductivity, in situ and laboratory testing and the origin of soils and soil deposits.
His most recent research interests are focussed on expansive soil foundations, engineering geology and minesite geotechnics
Professor Fityus's significant contributions and multidisciplinary expertise are recognised by his frequent invitation to review papers for a wide range of esteemed scholarly journals (Engineering Geology, ASTM Geotechnical Testing Journal, ASCE Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, Canadian Geotechnical Journal, Computers and Geotechnics and Water Resources Research).
Professor Fityus often undertakes consultancies including expert reviews.

Research expertise
Research expertise is mostly centered around field study and laboratory testing of geomaterials including unsaturated soils, expansive clay soils, silica sands, soft clays and weak sedimentary rocks. This work has extended to include the formulation and development of site condition models for different geological environments and behavioural models for geomaterials. Research has focussed more on practical application than on theoretical developments. It is also intentionally cross-disciplinary, aimed at enhancing the state of knowledge in the different disciplines by combining it with what is known from other disciplines.
Specific contexts include better prediction models for predicting foundation movements in expansive soils, better characterisation of expansive soils, mechanisms of slope stability related to geological structure, the structure and properties of soft soils in estuarine environments, the geotechnics of minespoil and failure mechanisms of plate anchors in sand.
