Construction is gathering pace on Auckland's NZ$260 million Herne Bay Collector, a new wastewater tunnel designed to capture wet-weather overflows before they reach Waitematā Harbour and divert them i...
Two workers have died following a slope incident at the open-pit section of Chile's El Teniente copper mine, with operations in the affected area remaining suspended while authorities investigate the...
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...
An NYU team has mapped burial grounds that have disappeared from Manhattan's maps. They argue that a shared, GIS-based record of forgotten graves should become a standard pre-construction tool, so tha...
Panama is assessing widespread damage to homes, schools, churches, roads and bridges after a powerful earthquake sequence struck the country, with a fresh magnitude 6.1 earthquake shaking the southern...

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...
This release introduces point loads in SLOPE3D for more realistic simulation of concentrated loading conditions and significant enhancements to the Python scripting API for improved workflow automatio...
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...
Railroads have always depended on reliable infrastructure to keep people, products, and economies moving. As signaling systems, communication networks, crossing equipment, and monitoring technologies...

A retaining wall at a construction site on Vojvode Vlahovića Street in Belgrade, Serbia, collapsed at approximately 17:00 local time on September 23, 2026. The failure took place in the Braće Jerković...
Automation should not be used merely to make a model run faster. Its real value is to help engineers build repeatable workflows, investigate more alternatives, reduce avoidable manual errors and use f...
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...
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...
