Congratulations to my WSP colleagues in Canada for their role in the preparation of the latest version of the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual. The 5th Edition was published in October of 2023. It is certainly […]
BoreDM is a new geotechnical software company focusing on geotechnical data management. Although they are less than one year old, they are taking the industry by storm with an impressive client list. I recently had […]
How do you calculate the carbon footprint of deep foundations or ground improvement? You use the Carbon Calculator from the Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) and the European Federation of Foundation Contractors (EFFC)! They have hosted […]
Today, we celebrate Terzaghi Day, honoring the father of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering 140 years after his birth. The Geo-Institute is doing an excellent job of keeping his legacy alive, and this year, they […]
Mapping rock mass structure is a key part of hard rock tunneling and underground mining. There have been a plethora of technological advances in 3D mapping and rock mass data extraction, but few are more […]
Geotechnical consultant Gregg Korbin served on the Technical Advisory Board for Washington State DOT for the SR-99 Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Tunnel Project. He recently presented to the Vancouver Geotechnical Society on lessons learned from […]
There is a new document available from IAEG titled “Guidelines for the development and application of engineering geologic models on projects.” The guidelines were created by members of the International Association of Engineering Geologists (IAEG) […]
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 […]
Unfortunately, I missed Terzaghi day this year 🙁 but the Geo-Institute of ASCE continued its tradition from the past 3 years of hosting a live lecture/presentation by a geo-legend to share a little about Karl […]
Nearly every geotechnical engineer has referred to the venerable 1986 NAVFAC DM 7.1 Manual on Soil Mechanics. There are numerous useful charts, correlations, tables, and equations for a variety of geotechnical challenges, which is probably […]
