Abrasivity testing (Cerchar and LCPC tests), drill and blast, performance and wear analysis and prognosis during roadheader cutting and TBM boring

Tunneling and Underground Excavation

Stability problems, rock mass characterization and classification (especially weathering, swelling and problems induced by high in-situ stress conditions)

Characterization of Rock and Soil Properties

Stability problems, rock mass characterization and classification (especially weathering, swelling and problems induced by high in-situ stress conditions)

Landslides

Landslides in rock and soil: causes, processes and mitigation measures (e.g. development of continuous 3D monitoring systems with TDR (time domain reflectometry))
