Contributions 2025
On Saturday, May 17th, 2025, we opened our laboratory doors as part of the KIT Open Day and Campus Day and welcomed numerous interested visitors with exciting insights into the world of soil mechanics and rock mechanics.
Highlights included:
- An interactive dam model that could be built and flowed through by the visitors themselves.
- A point load test for visitors to try out on their own.
- A hands-on soil mechanics lab, where guests could get actively involved.
In addition, we presented some of our current research topics – such as gravity-based underground energy storage and innovative methods for artificial ground freezing.
We would like to thank everyone who stopped by for their great interest and the many inspiring conversations – and we’re already looking forward to the next event!
We are looking for a research assistant / doctoral candidate (m/f/d) for an exciting research project with excellent development opportunities. More information here.
The program for our geotechnical seminar series in the summer semester 2025 is now available! We are looking forward to nine exciting lectures, offering practical insights into current construction projects as well as innovative research topics.
You can find the full program here, and more information here.
