Geotechnical Engineering Research Center was established to provide high quality engineering knowledge in the fields of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics. The majority of its activities covers theoretical and experimental soil mechanics, engineering geology (including planning for urban and rural areas development considering geological hazards potential ), engineering geophysics, soil-structure interaction, seismic site response analysis and seismic geotechnical hazard assessment (landslides and liquefaction).
Some of the main activities of this center are outlined as follows:

Theoretical, analytical, numerical and experimental comprehensive studies in different fields of geotechnical earthquake engineering- including site effects, liquefaction, soil-structure interaction, landslideس, surface fault rupturing, zonation and microzonation;
Theoretical studies in various fundamental fields of geotechnics such as constitutive modeling of soil behavior, mechanics of porous media and limit state analysis of stability issues with the main objectives of innovation and development in analytical and designing methods of soil mechanics and foundation engineering emphasizing on dynamic loadings;
Evaluation of the dynamic behavior and seismic bearing capacities of shallow and deep foundations and retaining walls.

The Geotechnical Engineering Research center, with its experienced experts and advanced laboratory equipment, is capable of providing comprehensive geotechnical services and transferring technical knowledge to other organizations across the country.
Some of these services include:
• Study and design of earthfill, rockfill, and underground structures;
• Conducting environmental and forced vibration tests (including explosions) on embankment dams to estimate the dynamic characteristics of the dam body, including natural frequencies, mode shapes, and modal damping ratios;
• Performing geotechnical investigations including dynamic behavior of soils, liquefaction, landslides, and site effects;
• Zonation and microzonation for seismic geotechnical hazards including landslides, liquefaction and site response analysis;
• Conducting geophysical studies (geo-electric and geo-seismic) at various project sites;
• Ambient noise measurements (microtremor tests) to define seismic bedrock level and shear velocity profiles;
• Senior consultant in other fields of geotechnical engineering, earthquake geotechnics and engineering geology.
