The Laboratory of Soil Mechanics focuses on:
-
Observing, measuring, understanding, and predicting the multiphysics behavior of energy geostructures and building-integrated solutions for renewable thermal energy supply.
-
Experimental investigation of shale behavior and prediction of the risk of inducing seismicity associated with CO2 sequestration technologies.
-
A thorough understanding of shale gas reservoirs and the development of practical tools to facilitate better design and sustainability of unconventional gas extraction.
-
Nature-inspired soil bio-improvement technologies for the development of sustainable and non-polluting bio-cement.
-
Understanding, studying, and predicting the complex thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behavior of deep nuclear waste disposal.
-
A detailed and in-depth understanding of the hydromechanical behavior of landslides.
