Courses

Geomechanics

The course covers engineering applications and challenges in geomechanics, including stress-strain behavior of geomaterials in variousconditions, triaxial testing,and constitutive frameworks for elasticity and plasticity.Practical insights are gained through workshops with geomechanics professionals

Energy geostructures

Energy geostructures are a technology that couples the structural role of foundations with the heating/cooling role of geothermal heat exchangers. The goal of the course is to provide an understanding of the structural, geotechnical and energy behaviour.
