Overview
We offer a degree in Geotechnical Engineering at Lund University. Among the topics addressed are relations of tension and strain for different types of soil, rock and grain based on experimental investigations taking the composition, formation and previous load into account.
Features
- Furthermore, the behaviour of masses consisting of the mentioned materials is analysed.
- The applications include analyses of bearing capacity, subsidence and vibrations, and studies of issues of foundation work, soil stabilisation, support constructions and the interaction of soil and structure.
Programme Structure
Research
- A key focus of research is methods and strategies of calculation specialising in computer simulations and verification of measurements.
- The ambition is to spread knowledge of advanced calculation methods in construction projects concerning the interaction between soil and buildings.
