Smart Foundation Team

Research Topics

The Smart Foundation Team investigates intelligent geotechnical systems that integrate sensing, data analytics, and adaptive design for next-generation infrastructure. Our research spans real-time foundation health monitoring, AI-driven soil-structure interaction modeling, and sustainable ground improvement techniques. We aim to transform traditional foundation engineering into a responsive, data-informed discipline that enhances safety, resilience, and lifecycle performance.
