معرفی
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Achmus is a Professor at Leibniz University Hannover, affiliated with the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodetic Science and the Institute for Geotechnical Engineering. He holds multiple leadership roles, including Designated Dean of Civil Engineering and Executive Director of the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering. His research focuses on geotechnical engineering challenges in offshore wind energy, cyclic soil-pile interactions, and foundation design for renewable energy infrastructure.
- Positions: Designated Dean, Executive Director (Institute of Geotechnical Engineering), Board Member (Testzentrum Tragstrukturen), Exchange Coordinator (Civil Engineering/Computer-Assisted Engineering).
- Key Projects: Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 'Offshore-Megastructures', DFWind, ProBucket, Ho-Pile, and SEALENCE, focusing on offshore foundations, cyclic loading, and soil-structure interactions.
Research Interests: Load-bearing behavior of offshore foundations, soil-pipeline interaction, cyclic loading effects on piles, and geotechnical design methodologies. His work bridges experimental testing (e.g., model tests, particle image velocimetry) and numerical simulations to address challenges in renewable energy infrastructure and geotechnical systems.
Publications: Over 150 peer-reviewed articles, emphasizing cyclic soil responses, monopile foundations, suction bucket behavior, and district heating pipeline interactions. Recent work explores novel p-y curve models, capacity degradation under cyclic loading, and scaling approaches for sand behavior.
Grants & Collaborations: Funded by DFG, BMWi, and EU initiatives. Collaborates with industry partners on offshore wind turbine foundations and geotechnical innovations.
Labs/Teams: Leads research teams within the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering, focusing on experimental and computational geotechnics, with active participation in national and international research networks.
