PLAXIS 3D Study Finds Winged Piles Can Cut Uplift Settlement by Up to 95% in Sandy Soil

A PLAXIS 3D numerical study of under-reamed 'winged' piles in sandy soil has found that adding a wing near the pile tip can cut uplift-induced settlement by up to 95% compared with a conventional stra...

Colombia declares national disaster after deadly magnitude 7.4 earthquake

A powerful magnitude 7.4 earthquake has struck western Colombia, causing widespread building collapse, damaging hospitals and airports, and triggering a national emergency. The death toll was still de...

Europe’s record forest biomass loss comes with hidden risks for slopes, roads and drainage systems

Europe’s forests are losing above-ground biomass at an increasing rate, with a clear deterioration recorded since 2018. An ESA-supported study published in Nature Geoscience found that forest disturba...

Ireland's climate risk is becoming a ground risk

Climate adaptation in Ireland can no longer be treated only as a flood defence or coastal protection issue. It is also a ground condition issue. Recent warnings from Mainmark Ireland point to a growin...
