Jürgen Grabe

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jürgen Grabe (born November 16, 1959 ) is a German civil engineer for geotechnical engineering and professor at the Technical University of Hamburg .

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jürgen Grabe

After graduating from high school in Hamburg from 1980, Grabe studied civil engineering at the TH Hannover (focus on structural engineering) with a diploma in 1986 and then worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Soil and Rock Mechanics at the University of Karlsruhe , where he did his doctorate in 1991 under Gerd Gudehus ( experimental and theoretical Investigations for comprehensive dynamic compaction control ). From 1992 to 1995 he was project manager at the engineering office IGB in Hamburg, 1996 branch manager at Trischler & Partner in Potsdam and from 1996 to 1998 construction manager at Bauer Spezialtiefbau GmbH Bauer AG , whose branch he headed from 1997 in Hamburg. From 1998 he is professor for geotechnics at the TU Hamburg and director of the institute for geotechnics and construction. From 2011 to 2014 he was Vice President for Research there.

His research focuses on numerical modeling, soil compaction, pile foundations and marine geotechnics (offshore and monopile pile foundations for wind turbines, port construction, sheet piling).

Since 2009 he has been the chairman of the working committee for bank edging of the port technology society HTG and the German Geotechnical Society DGGT, which publish the recommendations of the working committee for bank edging (EAU). Grabe has been Deputy Chairman of the DGGT since 2018 . He is on the scientific advisory board of the Federal Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and has been a member of the Academy of Sciences in Hamburg since 2012. Grabe is on the Technical Committee TC 209 (Offshore Geotechnics) and TC 203 (Numerical Methods in Geotechnics) of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering .

Since 2010 he has been the editor of Geotechnik magazine.

In 1992 he received the Carl Rappert Grundbau Preis of the DGGT and the Fritz-Peter Müller Prize for Structural Dynamics from the University of Karlsruhe. In 2019 he gave the Vienna Terzaghi Lecture (geomechatronics - a future field).

He is married and has four kids.
