Aarhus Universitets segl

Geomechanics and modelling of soils

Aarhus University advances the characterisation of Danish soils through integrated in situ testing and monitoring, advanced laboratory testing, and numerical modelling. Emphasis is placed on complex soil deposits formed in glacial and marine environments. A fundamental understanding of soil behaviour supports the development and calibration of advanced constitutive models, which are validated through high-quality experimental data and field observations. The group has established dedicated geotechnical test sites that serve as platforms for model validation, testing of innovative foundation solutions, and long-term monitoring of soil–structure interaction under real environmental and loading conditions
