Introduction

The Geotechnical and Environmental Research Group is home to over 65 staff and students engaged in research covering the whole spectrum of geotechnical and environmental engineering. Since its formation more than 50 years ago, the Group has produced over 200 PhDs.

The current interests of the Group are wide, encompassing construction processes, infrastructure, environmental engineering, earthquakes, and the fundamental mechanics of soils. The Group has extensive facilities for laboratory testing, centrifuge modelling, and numerical analysis.

We welcome you to browse our website using the links to find out more about the research which is currently underway. Detailed descriptions of our facilities are available, and a full list of recent publications is also on-line.

If you are interested in engaging in collaborative research, or joining the group as a student or visitor, you may wish to contact a member of staff whose interests are similar to your own.
