Construction has been suspended at Pakistan's Tarbela Fifth Extension Hydropower Project after a weak rock mass collapsed during tunnel excavation, allowing water from the intake pit to surge into nea...
A 13.46 m diameter Mixshield tunnel boring machine has completed a 4.5 km drive beneath the Panama Canal, marking the first time a mechanised tunnel has been excavated below the interoceanic waterway....
HS2 has completed the twin mined tunnel connections between the Victoria Road crossover box and Old Oak Common station in west London, creating a continuous underground link between the future station...
Communities along the Georgia-Tennessee border are assessing widespread damage several days after record flooding inundated McCaysville and Copperhill, damaging homes, businesses, public buildings and...
Researchers in Germany have successfully drilled four boreholes into a flooded former coal mine in Bochum, demonstrating that abandoned mine workings can be accessed using conventional geothermal dril...

GeoStudio 2026.1 introduces advanced 3D analysis capabilities, significant performance enhancements, and greater workflow efficiency. It also adds Point Loads for 3D slope stability—allowing you to di...
In Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, carved into the fragile shale cliffs of Luxor, lies one of the world’s most celebrated discoveries: Tutankhamun’s tomb. Known as KV62, the burial chamber of the boy pha...
Mining is an inherently uncertain business. Information about the underground is sparse and increasingly more expensive to collect. In the not so distant past, companies drilled extensive grids to cre...
In today's residential and multifamily construction market, builders face increasing pressure to control costs, accelerate schedules, and build on sites that would have been considered unbuildable jus...
Historically, most helical anchors and piles have been fabricated with helices attached to either a solid square or open pipe central shaft (Square-Shaft (SS) or Round-Shaft (RS)). This is generally h...

The Standard Course on Computational Geotechnics has over 30 years of history for teaching the practical application of the Finite Element method in geotechnical engineering. The standard course is ai...
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...
