Two instrumented preliminary test piles have been installed and tested in Aylesbury, UK, using Osterberg Cell bi-directional load test method, for the purpose of verifying the construction methodology and load performance of the bored piled foundations designed for the 880m long HS2 Thame Valley Viaduct. The local ground conditions comprise stiff clay a...
View ArticleSeismic bearing capacity of strip footings is a challenging task for geotechnical engineers due to its stochastic framework instigated by the natural uncertainties incorporated into geotechnical properties and earthquake parameters. Consequently, the introduction of the random field theory into reliability analysis may provide power tools to succor desi...
View ArticleAs dams play a very important role in the optimum use of water resources, it is very important to keep them stable and the water stored in the reservoir. It is particularly important to investigate how water moves through rocks and the permeability and quality of the rock mass in structures like dams. Therefore, one of the issues considered in dam stabi...
View ArticleΑn online questionnaire was developed to find out (i) whether geotechnical engineering instructors have available a variety of satisfactory educational material and (ii) the types of educational material they desire. The title of the questionnaire was phrased as “What Geotechnical Engineering Educational Material can we dream of?&...
