Localization in Geophysics, Geohazards and Geoengineering

Project description

Comprehensive study on localisation phenomena in geomaterials

Strain localisation is a conspicuous and ubiquitous phenomenon in geomaterials, and it plays an important role in geophysics, geohazards and geoengineering. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the LOC3G project aims to advance and disseminate knowledge on the multiscale and multiphysics simulation of localisation phenomena. The project will take an integrated approach by combining in-situ geological surveys, laboratory tests, constitutive modelling, numerical simulations and real-world applications to achieve this ambitious objective. LOC3G will develop a better and more comprehensive understanding of the localisation mechanisms to produce next-generation models for researchers and engineers, resulting in safe and economical solutions in geophysics, geohazards and geoengineering.

Objective

Deep understanding of localized deformation in geomaterials plays a central role in tapping geo-resources and energy, mitigating geohazards and designing built environment. Our project LOG3G seeks to advance and share the knowledge of the multiscale and multiphysics modelling of localization phenomena in geomaterials (soils and rocks), with the aim to create cutting-edge predictive models serving the communities in geophysics, geohazards, and geoengineering. We take an integrated approach by combining the diverse expertise of a multidisciplinary consortium, including geological surveys, constitutive modeling and numerical simulations, laboratory tests, and real-world applications such as CO2 storage and geo-resource/energy exploitation. LOG3G will generate lasting impact on the safety and economy in interaction with geomaterials across the disciplines. The ultimate goals are to develop better insight into the complex localization behavior of geomaterials, to provide the researchers and practitioners with the next generation predictive tools, to share and disseminate the knowledge to broad audience by secondment and training beyond the project network, and finally to contribute to the sustainable development of our society.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.
This project's classification has been validated by the project's team.

Keywords

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
