Rock Mechanics, Geomaterials, Slope Stability and Tunnelling

The Rockmech Research Group operates in the fields of rock mechanics and rock engineering, developing knowledge and innovative solutions for underground infrastructures and natural environments.

The group combines experimental investigation, advanced numerical modelling and innovative monitoring technologies. Its activities range from rock characterization and slope stability to tunnelling, natural-hazard mitigation and sustainable energy geostructures.

01

Rock mechanics

Laboratory and in situ characterization of rocks and geomaterials.

02

Slope stability

Landslides, natural hazards and advanced geotechnical monitoring.

03

Tunnelling

Design and behaviour of shallow, deep and existing underground structures.

04

Energy geostructures

Underground infrastructure for renewable thermal-energy exchange and storage.
