Hubbell Power Systems recently completed an extensive field and laboratory study to better understand why some customers were experiencing premature failures of cableway slots in concrete‑collar stre...
Read MoreThis example replicates the “Rapid drawdown” examples illustrated in SEEP/W and SIGMA/W. The purpose of this example is to demonstrate the steps required to conduct a stability analysis using the por...
Read MoreDeep underground excavations operate within a narrow margin between equilibrium and failure. As confinement decreases at an excavation boundary, stresses redistribute and concentrate around the openi...
Read MoreThe objective of dewatering is to lower the groundwater table to prevent significant groundwater flow into an excavation, and/or to ensure slope stability. The preferred dewatering system will depend...
Read MoreA 21,000 m² landslide was actively threatening the settlement of Köprülü in northeastern Turkey. Ground deformation accelerated, structures cracked, and engineers needed clarity fast. This case study...
Read MoreBack analysis is where geotechnical models stop being purely predictive and start being confronted by observed behaviour. In deep excavations, that test is unforgiving. Small, defensible changes in s...
Read MoreOne year after its launch, the UK’s first mine water heat Living Laboratory in Gateshead is attracting growing international interest, with researchers from Europe and the United States engaging with...
