A 73-year-old man has died after a landslide struck a two-storey semi-detached house in Paya Terubong, Penang, while preliminary investigations focus on drainage conditions and incomplete slope stabil...
A large groundwater drilling programme is under way in southern Algeria, where hundreds of deep irrigation wells are being developed to support a major agricultural and livestock project in the Sahara...
The British Geological Survey has begun a three-year programme to develop new national-scale geological datasets for the UK Continental Shelf, providing offshore developers with a clearer picture of s...
Two construction workers have died after being buried by soil and debris during water pipeline works in Anjo City, Aichi Prefecture, highlighting the severe risks associated with excavation and trench...
In today's residential and multifamily construction market, builders face increasing pressure to control costs, accelerate schedules, and build on sites that would have been considered unbuildable jus...

Historically, most helical anchors and piles have been fabricated with helices attached to either a solid square or open pipe central shaft (Square-Shaft (SS) or Round-Shaft (RS)). This is generally h...
Real geology doesn't obey global x-y axes, and it certainly doesn't ignore the borehole logs sitting on your desk. Slide2's Spatial Variability feature already allows engineers to represent uncertain...
A powerful tropical cyclone, Typhoon Halong developed near Iwo Jima, Japan on October 3, 2025. Four days later, after transitioning into an extratropical cyclone, the storm hit western Alaska, deliver...
Introduction Large underground excavations rarely behave as isolated, uniform openings. As excavation progresses, the surrounding rock mass redistributes stress, support is activated, and adjacent ope...
Intertechne Consultores S.A. has been announced winner of the Subsurface Modeling and Analysis category at the Year in Infrastructure Awards 2026, hosted by Bentley Systems in Singapore. Intertechne w...

University of Bologna researchers have combined a century of site investigations with a 3D finite element model to map the current stress state beneath the Garisenda and Asinelli towers – the geotechn...
This workshop on Slope stability is given as a special topic day added to the Advanced Course on Computational Geotechnics, but can also be joined as individual workshop. The workshop focuses on the c...
The Standard Course on Computational Geotechnics has over 30 years of history for teaching the practical application of the Finite Element method in geotechnical engineering. The standard course is ai...
Analytical and Limit Equilibrium Methods Analytical calculations are useful for preliminary tensile demand, pullout and load-transfer checks. Limit equilibrium methods are widely used for reinforced...
The performance of reinforced soil depends heavily on construction. Even a correctly designed product can be compromised by poor orientation, damage, inadequate compaction or uncontrolled water. The g...
This example demonstrates two basic internal checks for a 6.0 m high geogrid-reinforced soil wall: tensile rupture and reinforcement pullout. It is intentionally simplified, uses level granular backfi...
From Product Property to Design Resistance Design begins by defining the problem, the governing limit states, the design life, the ground conditions and the construction sequence. Index product data...
Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls In an MSE wall, horizontal layers of geogrid extend from the facing into compacted structural backfill. The soil tends to move laterally, while the reinforcement c...
Tensile Force-Strain Response Geogrid tensile properties are normally reported as force per unit width, such as kilonewtons per metre. The full force-strain curve is often more useful than the ultima...
Tensile Reinforcement The most fundamental mechanism is tensile reinforcement. As the soil mass tends to deform, relative movement develops between the soil and the geogrid. Interface shear and beari...
