The Chair of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering is concerned with the experimental and numerical recording and description of multiphysical phenomena and processes in porous and granular media.
Specific applications in the field of geotechnics include
- Classical soil mechanics, Foundation Engineering and Structural Analysis
- Numerical Methods in Geotechnics
- Composite and Failure Mechanics of Geosynthetic Reinforced Loose Rocks
- Soil Dynamics and Foundation Dynamics
- Stress and Deformation Behaviour ofDeformation behaviour of unconsolidated rock and porous media under large deformations
- Liquefaction of unconsolidated rock
- Development and numerical implementation of multiphysical (THMC) models for geotechnical process and safety analyses
- Substance and heat transport in soil
