Join this exclusive technical deep-dive into integrated slope stability modelling using Rocscience software. Limited to 15 participants for interactive discussion on how Slide2 integration with other...
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 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...
Design for a cantilever retaining wall supporting 3.0 m of dry sand backfill. The wall has a 3.20 m base (1.00 m toe, 1.90 m heel), a 0.30 m thick stem, and a 0.45 m thick footing; concrete unit wei...
The geotechnical stability of a retaining structure is assessed using limit equilibrium methods, which determine the ratio of available resisting forces/moments to the driving forces/moments. This ra...
Introduction to Lateral Earth Pressure Soil, unlike a true fluid, exhibits both density and internal friction (φ) and cohesion (c). Consequently, the pressure it exerts horizontally on a retaining s...
