DESCRIPTION:Vikram Deshpande\, University of Cambridge\, UK\nThe "fluid-st
 ructure" interaction when granular media travelling at high velocities imp
 inge on structures will be discussed. Such interactions typically occur in
  landmine explosions\, landslides and avalanches and involve the transfer 
 of momentum from the granular media to the structure. The phenomena involv
 ed are investigated via coupled discrete-continuum calculations and labora
 tory-scale model experiments. The talk will focus on the physics of soil-s
 tructure interaction including the design of structures that can survive t
 hese events.
