Foundation technologies
Foundation Technologies Wind turbines use gravity and pile foundations on- and offshore. IBF's expertise covers small-scale and large-scale testing and consulting for design, installation, and monitoring.Up to now the IBF…
Constitutive relations
Numerical models can never be better than the "constitutive laws" employed for the soil. The aim is thus to describe the mechanical interaction between stresses and strains in each individual…
Material behaviour
Material Behaviour Based on laboratory tests, the mechanical properties of the relevant soil layers must be determined in order to execute the required proofs of safety for foundation structures. Standard…
Subsoil investigations
Subsoil Investigations Sampling of soil and rock material from direct exposures (pits or boreholes) is an essential part of the subsoil investigation. The focus is not only on the composition…
