VIRTUAL GEOTECHNICS
http://www.geoengineer.org/virtual.html
Session with emphasis to various photos related to construction sites, geotechnical practice, case histories and labs.
Updates:
- Pile boring Machines of the 18th Century
- Soil and pavement cracks in Swellling ground
- Hydraulic barrier of underground parking using geosynthetics
- Earthquake Image Archives: The site belongs to the Soil Mechanics Laboratory of the Tokyo Metropolitan University and provides a lot of photos from various earthquakes.
LEARN-BY-HYPERLINKS
http://www.geoengineer.org/learnbyhy.html
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. Follow the link above to see the list of web pages.
Updates:
-
Dr. Norman Abrahamson's talk on "Incorporating Effects of Near Fault Tectonic Deformation into Design Ground Motions". The presentation is hosted by the University at Buffalo Earthquake Engineering Research Institute Student Chapter (UB-EERI), and provides the opportunity to listen to the speaker and see the powerpoint at the same time. An excellent application of the internet in education!
