PhD Overview

My research focuses on validating current design methods for deep foundations, such as piles and piled rafts, using conventional approaches, numerical modeling, and real data from full-scale tests. It addresses critical uncertainties, including soil variability, long-term behavior, external factors, and construction processes, ensuring safety and reliability. The expected outcomes aim to provide insights into soil-structure interaction, identify limitations of current methodologies, and contribute to improving technical design for enhanced infrastructure development.
