Deep Excavation, LLC has an excellent blog post on how geotechnical engineers should provide geotechnical parameters for use by a shoring designer. Mr. Konstantakos notes that most of us geotechnical engineers provide only lateral earth pressure parameters, but there are a number of problems with that approach. Today’s shoring designs are much more complex, requiring staged analyses and service limit analyses that you simply can’t do if all you have are basic parameters. So what should you provide in your geotechnical reports? Go read the post to find out! [Source: Deep Excavation. Image: DeepExcavation.com]
