Abstract:
The Geotechnics laboratory has the following current research interests:
  • soil mechanics;
  • offshore foundations;

  • shallow and deep foundations;

  • foundations in difficult soil conditions;

  • hydraulic barriers for environmental applications;

  • soil remediation technologies.


Applications within the marine field consist of offshore foundations, cables and pipelines. The current research investigates the in-situ behaviour of offshore monopile foundations for offshore wind turbines through geotechnical labotory testing, numerical modelling and monitoring data back-analysis. Research into the thermal properties of soil which affect the temperature field around offshore cables is also conducted in collaboration with industry partners. In addition, design guidelines for anchors for mussel farms have been developed by the researchers.
