Here is a video about a nifty software product I came across at the trade show, xGEL LabMate. I enjoyed the chance to chat with Art Koenig, the president of GeoSmart Software about this software, and about all kinds of other things from daughters to careers, ASFE, running a business and much more.
This is a pretty nice little 3-minute news segment on the Caldecott Tunnel 4th Bore Project in the California Bay Area. Progress is slow, at only about 10-15 feet of progress per day, but work […]
From the USGS Newsroom:
USGS scientist Ken Hudnut fills us in on how science created the theoretical magnitude 7.8 earthquake behind the Great Southern California ShakeOut—the largest earthquake preparedness drill in U.S. history, coming Nov. 13—and what such an earthquake would do to downtown Los Angeles.
Seems like they did it right wiith this study. They had multiple teams independenlty come up with the ground shaking model, then had different structural engineers who are experts in seismic design of large buildings review the tall buildings in the L.A. area for the design earthquake. They say that buildings would likely come down in the 7.8 magnitude event. Click through to watch the video interview from the USGS.
Perhaps the biggest news in geotechnical software over the past year has been the acquisition of Keynetix (makers of HoleBASE software) by Bentley (makers of gINT software). Their new geotechnical data management platform is being […]
