ABOUT

ABOUT

Research in Geotechnical Engineering deals with the development of methodologies for improved analysis, design and construction of major infrastructure projects ranging from foundations, to tunnels and offshore structures, and for the mitigation of the impact of natural hazards such landslides and earthquakes. Also subjects of research are geoenvironmental problems related to subsurface waste containment, groundwater contamination and site remediation are also a major focus of the research, as well as problems related to resource and energy extraction, including engineered geothermal systems. Research emphasizes balance between theory and practice to provide results and methodologies that have real-world applicability and context.
