Multiscale Modeling of Soil and Rock Materials Using X-ray CT

The topic of this research unit is the application of x-ray imaging to engineering, especially for geomaterials (soils, rock, and concrete). X-ray imaging plays a key role for the experimental multi-scale analysis of geomechanics, in that it helps linking the mechanisms occurring at the micro scale to the mechanical behavior observed at the macro scale. The research unit includes three top-ranked groups in geomechanics.
