Geomechanics Laboratory
Geomechanics is a theoretical and applied science that studies the behavior of rocks and rock masses; it is concerned with the response of rocks and rock masses to the forces acting around them. Geomechanics contributes to various fields of earth resource engineering, including civil, mining, petroleum, energy resources, and environmental engineering. The Geomechanics Laboratory is headed by Dr. Eng. Purwanto, S.T., M.T., with Nirmana Fiqra Qaidahiyani, S.T., M.T. serving as a faculty staff member and Assyahidul Hayyi, S.T. as the laboratory technician.
