A hydrogen power demonstration at the Port of Tilbury has shown how major construction sites could reduce their dependence on diesel generators while improving local air quality and lowering carbon em...
In today’s world of smartphones, cloud computing, and autonomous vehicles, helical piles and anchors hardly qualify as cutting‑edge technology. Yet this seemingly simple product continues to play a cr...
Floating offshore wind is advancing quickly, but one of its practical challenges remains the safe and efficient connection of dynamic power cables in open sea conditions. A new approval milestone for...
A major carbon capture project in Teesside is set to use 3D-printed concrete components to support part of its onshore carbon dioxide pipeline network. The approach reflects the growing use of digital...
Design with Confidence, Not Iteration Instead of manually iterating toward a workable solution, Support Designer now enables engineers to define a target factor of safety and let the software calculat...

Michael Meneses, Will Burgos, and James Hussin have written a feature story in May/June’s issue of DFI Deep Foundations Magazine discussing recent high-rise construction in South Florida. The article...
After a successful pilot, Keller North America’s field engineer / project engineer development program has been expanded to give more ambitious entry-level engineers a clear path to career advancement...
In ground engineering, we have never generated more data. Advanced investigation techniques are creating datasets on an unprecedented scale. Yet, for all this information, a critical question remains:...
After nearly four decades of service to A.B. Chance (purchased by Hubbell in 1994), Gary L. Seider, P.E., is retiring from a career that helped shape not only a product line, but a lasting foundation...
Why environmental and geotechnical teams must unite data and work as one to better manage risks in brownfield projects. In the world of infrastructure, the most significant risks often lie hidden belo...

One of Bulgaria’s most significant modern geotechnical failures has severed the main road between Pamporovo and Smolyan after a large landslide reactivated along a slope system first documented more t...
Join a focused group of 15 practitioners to discuss optimal 3D geometry preparation and how you can efficiently set up your Slide3 & RS3 model’s geology and staging. About this session Exclusive t...
Join Rocscience in Oslo for a focused three-day event featuring a complimentary User Group session followed by a two-day Finite Element Modelling workshop. This event is designed to bring together ge...
The analysis of retaining structures is commonly approached in three progressively more advanced levels, depending on the complexity of the wall system, the ground conditions, and the need to predict...
The Critical Role of Groundwater Water is the single most destructive element in retaining wall stability analysis. While designers account for the dry unit weight (γd) or saturated unit weight (γsa...
A cantilever sheet pile wall supporting a 3.5 m deep excavation in dry sand (γdry = 15.3 kN/m³, φ′ = 35°, c′ = 0) is to be constructed. Determine the required depth of embedment. 1. By using the...
A sheet pile wall is a line of interlocking thin wall elements driven into the ground to form a continuous barrier that can retain soil and/or water. Stability comes from penetration below the exc...
Design for a cantilever retaining wall supporting 3.0 m of dry sand backfill. The wall has a 3.20 m base (1.00 m toe, 1.90 m heel), a 0.30 m thick stem, and a 0.45 m thick footing; concrete unit wei...
The geotechnical stability of a retaining structure is assessed using limit equilibrium methods, which determine the ratio of available resisting forces/moments to the driving forces/moments. This ra...
Introduction to Lateral Earth Pressure Soil, unlike a true fluid, exhibits both density and internal friction (φ) and cohesion (c). Consequently, the pressure it exerts horizontally on a retaining s...
