EXPERIMENTAL GEOMECHANICS
Complex geomechanical problems require dedicated experimental assessments.
​
As experts in dealing with conventional and unconventional porous materials, we perform multi-physical laboratory experimental characterization of geomaterials, including:
-
NEW! Heat transfer characterization, as a function of the moisture content (thermal conductivity, diffusivity, and heat capacity), laboratory and field tests
-
Geotechnical properties (bulk density, porosity, water content, native activity)
-
Soil water retention curve (WRC)
-
Hydraulic conductivity of saturated and unsaturated geomaterials
-
Hydro-mechanical characterization
In addition to the experimental determination, we offer our knowhow to provide:
-
Design of experimental programs accounting for multi-physical phenomena
-
Independent assessment of experimental results
-
Specialized testing protocols definition
-
Support in the design of specialized laboratory pieces of equipment
-
Support to external laboratories, coordination of the experimental activities, results diagnostic and data analysis
