The November/December issue of Deep Foundations magazine from the Deep Foundations Institute features a special focus on resilience, with articles highlighting how foundation engineering is addressing coastal, flood, and infrastructure challenges.
Key highlights from the issue include:
- Cover Story: The Potrero Power Station Project in San Francisco Bay, where deep soil mixing and pile-supported structures are being used to improve seismic performance and address sea level rise risks.
- Flood Protection: A look at Louisville MSD’s Paddy’s Run Flood Pump Station, featuring an innovative diaphragm wall system used for both excavation support and permanent foundation elements that performed during a major flood event.
- Coastal Infrastructure: Case histories from New York City and New Jersey showcasing micropiles, rigid inclusions, and other foundation systems supporting large-scale flood protection projects.
- Design Perspective: An article on Foundation-Based Architecture that challenges traditional design workflows and promotes a greater role for geotechnical engineers early in project development.
- Columns and Features: Coverage of sustainability versus resilience, legal considerations related to sustainable design claims, artificial intelligence in foundation engineering, and a member profile of Ramin Motamed, Ph.D., P.E.
The November/December issue is available through the Deep Foundations Institute.
