Lateral Load Blind Prediction Competition
Blind Prediction Competition
an initiative of KU Leuven in cooperation with Prof. Alessandro Mandolini, Chair of TC212 Deep Foundation ISSMGE.
Key Details:
- participants will predict the lateral-load response of of hollow steel monopiles installed at a test site in Zeebrugge, Belgium; one pile was installed by vibratory driving and the other by impact hammering
- this is a unique opportunity to apply geotechnical insights, test models, and compare predictions with field performance results
- data from in-situ geotechnical investigation and laboratory tests are provided to support participants’ predictions.
REGISTER today to secure your spot and demonstrate your geotechnical skills on the global stage!

DEADLINE April 28th, 2025
The winner will be announced on the first day of the DFI-EFFC International Conference on Deep Foundations and Ground Improvement: Geotechnics Reimagined, which will be held in Bruges in May 21-23, 2025.
Postdoc position at Delft University of Technology – Optimisation of offshore monopile installation
Applications are welcome for a 21-month postdoc position to investigate the optimisation of the monopiles installation process and to study the dynamic behaviour of soil during pile installation using the physical modelling facilities at TU Delft. The work will include design and implementation of advanced instrumentation for physical modelling studies. Test planning and data interpretation will be carried out in close collaboration with industry experts in the framework of BLUE piling project. Candidates should possess a PhD degree in Civil/Geotechnical Engineering or related areas, proven experience in geotechnical centrifuge testing, preferably including soil-structure interaction problems and dynamic loading, and excellent knowledge of soil mechanics and foundation engineering. Acquaintance with offshore wind geotechnics is also appreciated (but not mandatory).
