Our research is focused mainly on practice-orientated topics of geotechnics and underground construction.

Some of our topics:

•     Material behavior of geomaterials
•    Material behavior of concrete and shotcrete
•    Developments of test facilities in geotechnics
•    Numerical simulation of grouting
•    Calculation approaches and innovative further developments for TVM and pipe jacking
•    Further development of supporting means and rock improvement in cavity construction
•    Design approaches for underground cavity structures
•    Design approaches for stability investigations of slopes
•    Testing of individual components for rockfall protection systems

    Scientific investigations and developments of construction machines and their technology
    Measurement instrumentation of construction machines, especially tunnel boring machines.
