Despite the continuous exploration, the Gulf of Mexico still has enormous quantities of oil and gas deposits. From around 335 million years ago until 200 million years ago, all land on Earth was conc...
A new study, recently published in Nature Geoscience, focuses on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere controlled by geological processes such as erosion and weathering of roc...
A cobble of green sandstone discovered near Antarctica has revealed crucial information regarding the future conditions on Earth if climate change persists. The effects of climate change are evident...
GeoWorld, the biggest online platform for geotechnical engineers, is excited to announce the publication of the fifteenth issue of "Geo-Trends Review" magazine. The fifteenth issue was just distrib...
A vast landslide that occurred on April 22, is considered to be the second largest to ever hit northern Quebec in Canada. The ground failure took place near the Great Whale River, about 8 kilometers...
Through this virtual simulation training software, an ADM monitor system user can easily understand how to install the ADM monitor system on site and how the cloud platform works. GINTEC has recorded...
When it comes to deep foundations and high capacity piles in general, helical piles are often overlooked by today’s engineers. Perhaps it’s due to a lack of familiarity, or simply minimal evidence su...
A new grouting material called Neutrogel® that has minimal impact on soil and groundwater, a much lower carbon footprint and lower costs, has been successfully used on a Keller project for the first...
Bentley Systems, Incorporated has announced its call for nominations for the 2021 Going Digital Awards in Infrastructure program. Formerly known as the Year in Infrastructure Awards, this global awar...
Keller is leading the way for ground-improvement works on the largest infrastructure project in the United Arab Emirates. A major new rail network that will create new connections among the nation’s...
The objective of this course is to introduce a wide range of new technologies for geo-infrastructure monitoring and how they fit in a geotechnical engineer’s toolbox. Specific course objectives: In...
Join Bentley in this webinar to learn more about the Tunnel Designer as a built-in facility in PLAXIS, and how you could possibly incorporate various construction sequences for underground metro stat...
The 9th International Congress on Environmental Geotechnics is part of the well established series of ICEG. This conference will be held on an outstanding resort in the town of Chania of the island o...
The Bishop Method of Slices The Bishop Method was introduced in 1955 by Alan Wilfred Bishop from the Imperial College in London. It is one of several Methods of Slices developed to assess the st...
Introduction In circular failure surfaces, when the soil is under conditions that allow for partial or full drainage (drained conditions), its shear strength is controlled by both its cohes...
As discussed in Mechanics of Slope Stability, the most widely used approach for assessing both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional slope stability is the Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM), i.e., assessing...
Definition of Factor of Safety Slope stability is controlled by 2 main factors: the driving and the resisting forces. The driving forces tend to destabilize a slope, leading to landslide phenomen...
The Technical Committee 306 Geo-Education of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) and its Chair Prof. Marina Pantazidou are pleased to launch an educatio...
General Slopes are typically categorized in two types: natural and artificially-made slopes. Natural slopes are formed due to physical processes that include plate tectonics and weathering...
