A team of New Zealand-based software designers that brought digital 3D modeling to engineering geotechnics less than two years ago recently launched an upgrade to their software, which is now being ...
This study represents a pilot study on the combination of geotechnical engineering, structural engineering and geophysics and their contributions for the preservation of high valuable historic masonry ...
Inside the Center for Geotechnical Modeling at UC Davis, a 9-meter-long centrifuge can spin a bucket, with a weight limit of 4,500 kilograms, at an acceleration of 75 times the force of gravity.
UC Davis' Center for Geotechnical Modeling on Monday joined a national effort in earthquake simulation with the launch of the George E. Brown Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES).
On May 1, 2024, a portion of the Meizhou-Dabu Expressway collapsed due to a catastrophic landslide in Meizhou, Guangdong Province, China 1. Tragically, the event claimed 48 lives and injured 30 others ...
Geotechnical engineering, geotechnical centrifuge modeling, frozen soil behavior, computer modeling of particulate materials, soil-structure interaction and integral abutment bridge design. Predictive ...
Pile group interaction during lateral loading reduces lateral resistance. Based on full-scale lateral pile group testing, the reduction is a function of pile spacing, row position and soil type.
A discussion about the importance of instrumentation in geotechnical engineering would be incomplete without referring to Professor R. Peck’s landmark paper titled “Advantages and Limitations of the ...
