Abstract:

The Geotechnical Laboratory studies the complex interactions between soil and those structural elements made of steel, concrete, and timber used for bridge foundations and retaining wall systems. New materials, new designs, and new methods of construction are tested and evaluated in both indoor and outdoor environments to determine their acceptability and to identify opportunities for improvement.
