Dr. Vásárhelyi Balázs is an Associate Professor at the Department of Engineering Geology and Geotechnics, Budapest University of Technology and Economics (Faculty of Civil Engineering). He has been teaching courses such as Engineering geological and geotechnical project , Geology , Tunneling , and Rock Mechanics since the early 2010s, with a focus on rock mass characterization and geotechnical stability. Position: Associate Professor Department: Engineering Geology and Geotechnics Email: vasarhelyi.balazs@emk.bme.hu Office Hours: Mondays 11-12 His research connects geological strength parameters with engineering applications through projects like the Mátra Gravitational and Geophysical Laboratory measurements. He has explored the relationships between Geological Strength Index (GSI) , Hoek-Brown criterion , and Q-system for rock mass classification, with particular emphasis on granitic and sedimentary rocks. Recent publications analyze: Stress thresholds for crack initiation in granitic rocks using machine learning Thermal effects on limestone and sandstone mechanical properties Modified RQD applications for rock mass characterization Brittle-to-ductile transition stress in rock masses Impact resistance correlations with compressive strength Scientific recognition includes the Építő250 Scholarship . His work spans empirical, analytical, and numerical approaches to geotechnical challenges in tunneling and slope stability.
