GEOLAB: integrating and advancing Europe's physical modelling facilities

ICPMG 2022, 10th International Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics, Daejeon, République de Corée, 19-/09/2022 - 23/09/2022; International audience; The critical infrastructure of Europe is currently facing multifaceted challenges. The GEOLAB research infrastructure comprises 12 unique facilities in Europe for studying ground behavior and its interaction with structural elements and the environment. The aim of GEOLAB is to integrate and advance these national facilities into a onestop-shop for performing excellent physical modelling research and innovation for enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructure. The joint research activities are advancing the capabilities of the GEOLAB facilities beyond present state-of-the-art. During transnational access, experiments proposed by outside user groups are carried out.
