Research summary
AI-generated

Rodrigo Salgado works in geotechnical engineering, the branch of civil engineering concerned with how soil and rock behave and how they support structures like foundations, piles, and retaining walls. His work spans foundation design (including deep foundations, piles, and monopiles for large structures), soil mechanics and testing (such as cone penetration and sand crushing behavior), and applied projects like bridge monitoring and geotechnical databases. He has also authored widely used textbooks and reference guides on foundation engineering.
