Read MoreJoin for free to the upcoming GEO5 webinar about "Material Models in GEO5 FEM" that will introduce: Elastic models Elasto-plastic material models Hardening, softening Critical state models,...
Read MoreThis course covers the basics of setting up a SLOPE/W stability analysis, in addition to reviewing more complex options such as slip surface optimization, probabilistic and sensitivity analyses, and...
Read MoreAlthough the use of the term “sustainability” is becoming more widespread, it can be difficult to know what tangible things we can do as geotechnical engineers and contractors to further the goals of...
Read MoreThe Innovation and Development Committee of ISSMGE has been working with the Board, member societies and committees within ISSMGE to develop various resources and tools that can be of practical value...
Read MoreNatural clays will generally exhibit anisotropic behaviour, in part due to the K0-consolidation stress history to which clays are often subjected. The SANICLAY material models are new additions to SI...
Read MoreRock engineering projects can be challenging. Engineers working on rock need to design solutions that mobilize the natural strength of complex, largely unknown rock masses, which often play the roles...
Read MoreLiquefaction is simply another facet of soil behavior, and earthquakes are by no means necessary for liquefaction; monotonic loading, under unfavorable circumstances, could as well trigger the so-cal...
