I know this video made the rounds by email and on Geoengineer a while back, but I haven’t posted it here. It shows a novel way of installing piles in softer soil. Those guys have some nice rhythm! Happy Friday.

UC Berkley has a bunch of lectures online, including three geoengineering themed ones. It appears that they were all from lectures given as a part of the 27th Annual GeoEngineering Distinguished Lecture Series on May 8, 2009. So if you have an hour plus to kill per lecture (and I haven’t yet), you can check out one of the following.

Comments Off on Video: RPI Geotechnical Engineering Centrifuge
I stumbled across this video for the geotechnical engineering centrifuge at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Centrifuge testing is a popular way to economically test models at much higher loads and pressures than you would normally be able to in the laboratory. The goal is to more accurately represent the real world conditions. Click through for the video.

So….would we call that a 6 MP (man power) vibratory hammer? If we consider it an impact hammer, what is the rated energy? 😉
I like it. And if you run into a stiffer material, you just put on some speed metal music! 😀
