Rate My Professor Koenraad Thooft

His academic activities focus on civil engineering topics, including geotechnics and soil mechanics. He coordinates and teaches courses such as Grondmechanica, Geotechniek, Structuurmechanica 1, Statica en sterkteleer, and related subjects in building methods and design. Thooft has contributed to research in these areas, with publications including a 2009 paper on numerical simulations for test piles presented at the 5th International Symposium on Deep Foundations on Bored and Auger Piles, a 1997 paper on cavity expansion theory applied to CPT and model pile test simulations, and a 1994 paper on a cyclic loading stress-strain model with plastic shear deformation for sands. He earned his education at Universiteit Gent and maintains an ORCID profile (0000-0001-5661-7251).
