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...
More than 1,300 people are missing across Nepal and China’s Tibet region after a sudden collapse of mud, rock and ice triggered catastrophic flooding through Himalayan valleys. At least 165 people hav...
Heavy equipment has begun working inside Big Bend National Park in southwest Texas as federal crews assess ground conditions for a major border infrastructure programme. The work is linked to a USD1.7...
blockWorks and bimLab — two new software tools for geotechnical and geological engineers — have been released by the UC Davis GeoSystems Lab, led by Prof. Michael Gardner. The apps help researchers an...
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...

Introduction Shear Strength Reduction (SSR) analysis is a well-established method for assessing the stability of slopes and other geotechnical infrastructure, including open pits. In RS3, SSR yields a...
A PLAXIS 3D numerical study of under-reamed 'winged' piles in sandy soil has found that adding a wing near the pile tip can cut uplift-induced settlement by up to 95% compared with a conventional stra...
Engineers designing the new Lueneburg Lock in northern Germany used a deliberately complementary combination of PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D models, rather than a single large 3D model, to control a 30 m d...
Ground motion selection is a key part of seismic site response analysis, representing the ground shaking driving the soil column. In preparing for a site response analysis, engineers define the seismi...
Introduction: Unlocking Automation in Geotechnical Engineering As engineering projects continue to grow in scale and complexity, engineers increasingly rely on automation to improve efficiency, consis...

A 55-year-old worker was rescued in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, after a trench collapsed and buried him up to his neck. First responders were called to Rhine Street, where three people had reportedly bee...
This course is for those who have never used GeoStudio before or have not upgraded to a recent version in a long time and want a refresher. It provides an overview of the basic components of setting u...
Discover how GroutForce™ Displacement Piles provide a high-capacity foundation solution by utilizing soil displacement technology to compact surrounding soils and increase frictional bond strength. Th...
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...
What Is a Geogrid? A geogrid is a planar geosynthetic product formed by connected tensile members that create a regular or quasi-regular network of openings, known as apertures. It is installed withi...
The analysis of retaining structures is commonly approached in three progressively more advanced levels, depending on the complexity of the wall system, the ground conditions, and the need to predict...
The Critical Role of Groundwater Water is the single most destructive element in retaining wall stability analysis. While designers account for the dry unit weight (γd) or saturated unit weight (γsa...
A cantilever sheet pile wall supporting a 3.5 m deep excavation in dry sand (γdry = 15.3 kN/m³, φ′ = 35°, c′ = 0) is to be constructed. Determine the required depth of embedment. 1. By using the...
A sheet pile wall is a line of interlocking thin wall elements driven into the ground to form a continuous barrier that can retain soil and/or water. Stability comes from penetration below the exc...
