Experimental soil mechanics

  • Cyclic and dynamic tests

    Cyclic and dynamic tests are used to define input parameters for seismic site response studies and soil structure interaction and specifically the modulus reduction and damping curves that describe soil response at different strain levels.

  • Laboratory Geophysics

    Seismic and electric non-destructive measurements on laboratory scale are used to monitor and study the hydro-chemo-mechanical process
