Organization
Geotechnical and Infrastructure Safety Laboratory
The Geotechnical and Infrastructure Safety Laboratory investigates soil–structure interaction with a focus on reinforced soil structures, geotextile tube systems, and large-diameter offshore piles.
Through the development of steel rod anchor reinforcements, integrated construction technologies for geotextile tube structures, and behavioral models of offshore wind energy structures
that account for wind, wave, and blade-induced loads, the laboratory leads the advancement of safe and sustainable geotechnical infrastructure.
