Characterization of Rock and Soil Properties
The research focus "Characterization of Rock and Soil Properties" is worked on at the Chair of Engineering Geology within the framework of several doctoral, bachelor and master theses with very different objectives.
The engineering geological and petrophysical studies on this complex of topics include:
- weathering resistance and variability of natural and manufactured stones and grains
- field and laboratory studies of variable solid rocks and rock weathering
- clay minerals and their properties
- swelling behavior of claystones and anhydrite-bearing rocks
- studies on the performance and evaluation of laboratory tests and their further development
