Topic 1: Evaluation of Effective Properties of Geomaterials
Challenge
Geomaterials are inherently heterogeneous, with complex internal structures that influence their macro-scale behavior.
Accurately linking internal structures to effective properties remains a key challenge in geotechnical research.
Contribution
Developed a novel method utilizing Gaussian random fields to reconstruct geomaterial microstructures, analyzing their behavior under thermal and seepage conditions.
This work forms the basis for advanced uncertainty quantification in geotechnical parameters.
