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...
Read MoreEngineers designing the new Lueneburg Lock in northern Germany used a deliberately complementary combination of PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D models, rather than a single large 3D model, to control a 30 m d...
Read MoreGround motion selection is a key part of seismic site response analysis, representing the ground shaking driving the soil column. In preparing for a site response analysis, engineers define the seismi...
Read MoreIntroduction: Unlocking Automation in Geotechnical Engineering As engineering projects continue to grow in scale and complexity, engineers increasingly rely on automation to improve efficiency, consis...
Read MoreBringing high-resolution 3D data directly into underground excavation and rockfall analysisModern geotechnical projects increasingly rely on detailed field data to understand complex rock conditions....
Read MoreThe British Geological Survey has released Version 8 of its Superficial Deposit Thickness Model, giving engineers and geoscientists an updated national view of how much unconsolidated ground lies abov...
Read MoreConsider the asymmetry at the heart of ground engineering. Site investigation typically accounts for 0.2% to 1.5% of a project's total cost, yet the US National Research Council has observed that unfo...
Read MoreWhat if checking every section along your tunnel took less time than making a coffee? Tunnel lining design is not painful during the analysis stage – the work gets bogged down afterward. Once RS3 has...
Read MoreIf you design infrastructure in Autodesk Civil 3D and you have outgrown manual borehole imports, the most complete option available today is GeoDin® Ground - a free app on the Autodesk App Store that...
Read MoreDesign with Confidence, Not Iteration Instead of manually iterating toward a workable solution, Support Designer now enables engineers to define a target factor of safety and let the software calculat...
