Overview

Dr. Guo’s research focuses on geomechanics, geotechnical engineering and numerical modelling of complex geotechnical engineering problems. The key topics include: experimental characterization of geomaterials under various stress and environmental conditions, micromechanical analysis of granular materials, constitutive modelling of geomaterials by considering inherent and induced anisotropy, multiscale modelling of geo-mechanical problems involving multi-physics such as hydraulic fracturing, ground thermal pumping and impact of climate change on geotechnical structures.  His research also covers highway and railway geotechnics, particularly the effect of low-amplitude cyclic loading on soil behaviour.
