Forensic Research CEG - Civil Engineering and Geosciences
Forensic Focus
Develop methods and techniques to investigate structural failures, understand failure mechanisms through computational modelling and physical testing
Examples
Development of investigation method to reliably determine the causes of masonry cracks in Groningen, use of satellite data to measure settlements of buildings, or to determine collapse of building after natural disaster, testing of masonry structures on various scales, testing of concrete beams to determine shear capacity, computational modelling of masonry structures to understand non-linear structural behaviour, use of petrography to determine cause of damage of concrete structures.
