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...
A large ground collapse beside a beachfront Malibu property reportedly owned by Nicolas Cage has been linked to coastal erosion, seawall undermining and strong wave action associated with Hurricane Ma...
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....
Caltrans has advanced the Last Chance Grade tunnel project into detailed design, moving closer to a long-term solution for one of the most unstable sections of US Highway 101 in northern California.Th...

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...
The Société d'état pour le Développement Minier de la Côte d'Ivoire (SODEMI), the state-owned mining corporation of Côte d'Ivoire established in 1962, has integrated Seequent's Oasis montaj and VOXI s...
Dr. Alan J. Lutenegger, Emeritus Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, published a technical analysis examining how the addition of a single helical plate t...
Bentley Systems has announced the finalists for the 2026 Year in Infrastructure Awards, highlighting infrastructure projects that are advancing digital engineering and helping solve some of the world’...
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...

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...
