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...
A major flood risk management programme has been completed in Kansas City, upgrading some 17 miles of levees and floodwalls along the Kansas and Missouri rivers to strengthen protection for residents,...
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...
TC205 on Safety and Serviceability in Geotechnical Design is pleased to announce a Call for Papers for Case Histories related to Safety and Serviceability that will be published in ISSMGE’s Internatio...

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...
Real geology doesn't obey global x-y axes, and it certainly doesn't ignore the borehole logs sitting on your desk. Slide2's Spatial Variability feature already allows engineers to represent uncertain...
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...
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...

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...

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...
