Sustainable Geo-Resources

  • Fundamental Study: Thermo-Hydro-Chemo-Mechanical (THCM) coupled processes in geomaterials (rock & soil); Engineering properties and behavior of geomaterials (rock, soil, & cementitious materials); Biogeomechanics (mechanical response of geomaterial interaction with biological processes).

  • Geomechanics & Geo-engineering Application Study: Slope stability; Rock grouting; Underground interactions between geomaterials & cementitious materials; Failure due to underground drilling/excavation; Geotechnical-related hazard mitigation.

  • Geo-resources Application Study:  Carbon sequestration; Energy geo-resources/ Energy geotechnics; Geothermal energy systems.
