GEOLAB Material Properties Database

GEOLAB Material Properties Database -Deliverables

The documents below contain a comprehensive ‘one-stop’ material properties database developed by the GEOLAB consortium for the typical soils and constitutive models used in the GEOLAB facilities. The said database was developed to support the use and re-use of the quality experimental data from the GEOLAB Transnational Access projects.

First Call for Proposals

GEOLAB provides a comprehensive suite of 11 complementary installations equipping the users from academia and industry with renowned tools for excellent research for the energy, water, urban and transport infrastructure sector.

The installations were specifically selected to ensure a wide range of capabilities to address problems across experiment scales, disciplinary boundaries and Technology Readiness Levels (TRL).

The research infrastructure installations are used to study the following:

Ground stability related issues, e.g. consolidation, seepage, liquefaction, (coastal) erosion and slope stability.
Water-soil-structure interaction, e.g. for roads, railways, tunnels, bridges, dams, foundations, buildings and buried cables & pipelines.
Interaction of infrastructure systems with the environment, e.g. impact of climate change, extreme weather events, geo-hazards, static & dynamic loading and aging.

This First Call for Proposals is an invitation to all eligible organisations to submit a proposal for an experiment to be hosted in one of the above mentioned facilities. The theme of the present call is: ‘Experiments that prove innovative solutions to enhance the resilience of Critical Infrastructure (CI) in Europe’.

The deadline for proposals is October 10th, 2021, 23.59 CET. Proposals received after this time cannot be considered.
Proposals are reviewed by a group of independent experts (the User Selection Panel), of which the outcome is expected in December 2021.

The GEOLAB project provides User Groups access free of charge to the facilities for their research project and covers travel and subsistence costs (within prescribed limits) as well. State-of-the-art measuring instruments, data-acquisition and processing systems will be available, as well as modern support facilities, such as library, computers, and internet access. Furthermore, visiting researchers are offered a scientific and intellectual environment, with assistance and guidance from experts at the host institute.
