- offshore foundations;
\r\n- shallow and deep foundations;
\r\n- foundations in difficult soil conditions;
\r\n- hydraulic barriers for environmental applications;
\r\n- soil remediation technologies.
\r\n\r\nApplications within the marine field consist of offshore foundations, cables and pipelines. The current research investigates the in-situ behaviour of offshore monopile foundations for offshore wind turbines through geotechnical labotory testing, numerical modelling and monitoring data back-analysis. Research into the thermal properties of soil which affect the temperature field around offshore cables is also conducted in collaboration with industry partners. In addition, design guidelines for anchors for mussel farms have been developed by the researchers. ","AbstractOtherLang":"Het laboratorium Geotechniek heeft volgende lopende onderzoeksinteresses: \r\n- bodemmechanica;
\r\n- offshore funderingen;
- ondiepe en diepe funderingen;
\r\n- funderingen in moeilijke bodemomstandigheden;
\r\n- hydraulische barrières voor milieutoepassingen;
\r\n- bodemsaneringstechnologieën.
\r\n\r\nToepassingen binnen het mariene veld bestaan uit offshore funderingen, kabels en pijpleidingen. Het huidige onderzoek bestudeert het in-situ gedrag van offshore monopile funderingen voor offshore windturbines door middel van geotechnische laboratoriumtesten, numerieke modellering en back-analysis van monitoringsgegevens. In samenwerking met industriële partners wordt ook onderzoek gedaan naar de thermische eigenschappen van de bodem die het temperatuurveld rond offshore-kabels beïnvloeden. Daarnaast hebben de onderzoekers richtsnoeren voor het ontwerp van ankers voor mosselkwekerijen ontwikkeld.
