Features
The Geoengineer website intends to become a focal point on the Internet of geoengineering practice and research. The site supports any efforts that have merit by providing free internet space and promotion.
As of April 2004, the Geoengineer Website hosts the International Journal of Geoengineering Case Histories. An independent effort coordinated by some of the most important engineers worldwide that will hopefully make a great contribution in our field.
The site is updated constantly and the features available will increase as the site's content increases. For now the choices available are:
- Virtual Geotechnical Engineer page: In this page you can see some case studies, or other related themes via photos. In my opinion it is important, especially for students, to have the chance seeing some photos of the subjects that they study in books.
- Learn-By-Hyperlinks. In each specialty again, The Learn-by-Hyperlinks are hyperlinks of web pages in the Network with entirely educational index. They are hyperlinks to reports, abstracts, articles or any other material which purpose is to teach or inform students or professional engineers on specific subjects.
- Online free papers and books in Geotechnical Engineering. A collection of papers and books which are available through the internet on Geotechnics
- Discussion Lists-Mail bases-Newsgroups.
Information regarding discussion lists,
mail bases or newsgroups on the Geotechnical Engineering field.
- Hyperlinks: In each specialty, you also have the chance to be linked with other websites which I consider interesting.
- Geotechnical Web Applications. Collection of web applications, tools and programs in the Geotechnical Engineering field.
- Geotechnical Engineering Related Journals. Links to geotechnical engineering related journals. Some links provide access to the content of the Journal, which you may download as a .pdf file.
- History of Geotechnical Engineering. This session focuses to topics related to the history of geotechnical engineering, historical projects of importance and the personalities that made geotechnical engineering a science.
- Top 10 Papers on Geotechnical Engineering. In this session, chosen qualified and well-known Professors or engineers are invited to propose the best 10 papers in a specific field of their
expertise. The purpose of this session is to provide to any interested engineer or company a starting point of the best publications on a specific topic.
