TC101 on Laboratory Stress Strain Strength Testing of Geomaterials is pleased to announce a Call for Papers for Case Histories related to Laboratory Testing that will be published in ISSMGE’s Internat...
Heavy rainfall, flooding and landslides have killed at least 70 people across India and Nepal, while rising rivers and continued rainfall are keeping large areas under flood and flash-flood warnings.I...
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...
A full report on the investigation of the 2026 Mindanao Earthquake has been published on the GEER website. The report documents the immediate geotechnical and structural impacts of the earthquake and...
Construction is advancing on NZT Power in Teesside, a 742 MW gas-fired power station designed to become the world's first commercial-scale facility of its type with integrated carbon capture and stora...

Earthquake swarms, clusters of moderate-to-strong seismic events occurring in quick succession, are a growing concern for large dams, whose foundations can suffer cumulative stiffness degradation and...
Eggs laid by the endangered piping plover are a creamy light brown with small dark specs on them, perfectly camouflaged in the sands of Ogunquit Beach, Maine. With each egg measuring just over an inch...
Rock slope stability analysis rarely ends with a single number. While the Factor of Safety remains a fundamental measure of stability, real-world engineering workflows often require much more: isolati...
Debris flows are among the fastest and most destructive forms of slope failure, and predicting when and how they initiate remains one of geotechnical engineering's toughest hazard-assessment problems....
Evaluations of hot-dip galvanized Chance® Instant Foundations installed in the early 1980s have confirmed continued structural performance after more than four decades in service. The foundations util...

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...
Join us for a comprehensive live webinar on capturing accurate field data from underground openings to generate high-resolution 3D models using advanced photogrammetry tools; performing non-contact di...
When faced with evaluating the many solutions available for lateral and horizontal displacement monitoring, what better way to evaluate the options than by hearing from the experts directly?Join Orica...
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...
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...
