Many engineers are faced with challenges in defining a soil profile with CPT points. They are often provided with a soil classification chart which allows them to estimate the soil layering of the given CPT […]
Finland has the world’s first commercial underground nuclear waste repository, and construction of the access works, infrastructure, and the first five disposal tunnels is essentially complete. I haven’t seen a timeline of when they will […]
Geotechnical engineers know that setting up a 2d or 3d model in programs such as Slide2 or Settle3 is one of the most time consuming parts. In this article by GeoPrac sponsor, Rocscience, find out how easy it is to use RSLog to generate these sections and models from your subsurface data! […]
Bently has moved all of its geotechnical software under the Seequent brand, including PLAXIS, OpenGround, and GeoStudio. Bently Systems acquired the geo-software company Seequent in June of 2021. Seequent is known for its geo-data management […]
The GEO5 Suite of geotechnical software has some exciting new features in the latest updates! There is a new free mobile app called GEO5 Data Collector to allow field data collection and two-way sync with […]
The Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) report for the moment magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck the Mexican State of Michoacan on September 19, 2022 is now available. The earthquake was an interface subduction earthquake along […]
Determining the accuracy of slope stability analysis has been a primary subject of interest in the geotechnical field for several decades now. Taking preventative measures against slope failure is crucial to minimize casualties and damage […]
I just watched a July episode of the DFI rumble that I missed before – the numerical modeler versus the skeptic. Approaching from the numerical modeling perspective was Augusto Lucarelli from Itasca (the makers of […]
The geotechnical program is about to begin on the $2.2B AUS ($1.4B USD) Coffs Harbour Bypass project in New South Wales, Australia. The design-builder will be conducting over 300 boreholes between 4 and 70 m […]
