Description
The
Geotechnical Engineering and Materials Program (GEM) supports fundamental
research in soil and rock mechanics and dynamics in support of physical civil infrastructure
systems. Also supported is research on improvement of the engineering
properties of geologic materials for infrastructure use by mechanical,
biological, thermal, chemical, and electrical processes. The Program supports
the traditional areas of foundation engineering, earth structures, underground
construction, tunneling, geoenvironmental
engineering, and site characterization, as well as the emerging area of bio-geo
engineering, for civil engineering applications, with emphasis on sustainable
geosystems. Research related to the geotechnical engineering aspects of
geothermal energy and geothermal heat pump systems is also
supported.
