Schweiger
Prof. Helmut F. Schweiger established the Computational Geotechnics Group at
the Institute of Soil Mechanics, Foundation Engineering and Computational
Geotechnics of the Graz University of Technology in Austria in 1995 and has over
25 years of experience in developing and applying numerical methods in
geomechanics. In 2019 he retired ”formally” from university but he is still active
in research and various technical committees. He studied Civil Engineering at the Graz University of
Technology and obtained his Ph.D. form the University of Wales, Swansea, UK. His main research
interests are the development of multilaminate models for soils and the assessment of the influence of
the constitutive model for solving practical problems, in particular deep excavations, deep foundations
and tunnels. Application of numerical methods in accordance with the design approaches defined in
Eurocode7 is another topic he is involved in. His group was a member of several research projects
funded by the European Commission. His research is reflected in more than 350 publications in
International Journals and Conference Proceedings and invitations to keynote and plenary lectures at
International Conferences on Soil Mechanics and Computational Geotechnics. He serves on a number
of editorial boards of international journals, including Geotechnique, Computers and Geotechnics and
International Journal of Geomechanics. He is Vice-chair of the ISSMGE Technical Committee TC103
„Numerical Methods” and Chairman of the European Technical Committee ERTC7 „Numerical
Methods in Geotechnical Engineering”. He is a Board Member of the International Association for
Computer Methods and Advances in Geomechanics and a member of several learned societies such as
the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. He was Co-organizer of
International Symposium on Numerical Models in Geomechanics NUMOG VII in September 1999 in
Graz and Chairman of 6th European Conference on Numerical Methods in Engineering in Graz in
September 2006. He is an external examiner and member of several Ph.D. committees for Universities
in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Italy, Spain, Australia, Singapore and the UK.
In 2005 he received the "Excellent Contributions Award Regional" of the International Association for
Computer Methods and Advances in Geomechanics, the "Best Paper Award" of the Japanese
Geotechnical Society and in 2010 the "George Stephenson Medal" of the Institution of Civil Engineers,
London, UK for a paper published in Geotechnique. He is the president of the Austrian Society for Soil
Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. He delivered the Széchy Károly Memorial Lecture and
Šuklje´s Lecture in 2018.
He is also involved in consulting work and finite element analyses for tunnels, piled raft foundations
and deep excavations in soft ground in Austria, Italy, Romania and Switzerland.
He was a member of the international expert panel for the investigation of the MRT-Circle Line collapse
at Nicoll Highway for the Ministry of Manpower, Singapore.
