The Institute of Geotechnics is fundamentally concerned with both basic research and application-orientated research into engineering tasks. The fields of research range from soil-structure interaction in offshore wind turbines or large pile groups to the further development of numerical methods and applications of AI through to questions of the influence of climate change on geotechnical structures. We have high-performance research laboratories for soil mechanics tests as well as medium and large-scale geotechnical modelling tests and use the latest numerical methods, some of which we have developed ourselves, to solve geotechnical problems.
