MRes in Geomechanics
Course Overview
This course provides a comprehensive exploration of the advanced thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils, a critical and emerging field in geotechnical engineering. Students will investigate soil behavior from the micro to macro scale, with direct applications to pressing environmental and industrial challenges such as nuclear waste containment and climate change resilience.
Key Program Highlights
- Cutting-edge analysis of soil behavior under varying suction, temperature, and climatic conditions like cyclic wetting and drying.
- Direct relevance to critical real-world applications including nuclear waste disposal systems and offshore geotechnical engineering.
- Hands-on experience with advanced laboratory testing and microstructural analysis techniques.
- Investigation of granular materials and earth construction, supported by industrial collaboration.
- Exposure to international research partnerships and the latest constitutive modeling frameworks.
