by Angela Li CPillar is a quick and easy-to-use software for the analysis of surface or underground crown pillars and laminated roof beds. This limit-equilibrium program is capable of deploying three...
Read MoreGeotechnical challenges are everywhere, starting from the soil interaction with the foundation of our homes, roads, embankments, dams, retaining walls, and tunnels. Engineers have studied these cases...
Read MoreWith this partnership, geotechnical engineers using a broad array of measurement devices can now monitor and manage their data wirelessly and in real time via the Inzwa Cloud’s seamless integration w...
Read MoreWhen it comes to open pit mines, generally, the steeper the slopes, the greater the ore extraction, but at what cost to safety? This is an age-old question for geotechnical engineers working in the m...
Read MoreThe construction of an embankment on clay can generate excess pore pressure in the clay, causing slope stability problems in the short term. For this reason, it’s important to evaluate the Factor of...
Read MoreSurface mining, whether you call it open pit, opencast, or open cut is a common method of extracting minerals like coal, iron, gold, and copper from shallow depths below the ground. Slope stability a...
Read MoreVertical excavations are common in urban environments due to the lack of available space for gentle slopes. These excavations are supported by retaining structures, such as diaphragm walls tied back...
Read MoreOne of many challenges to open pit and underground mine designs is the high variability of weak rocks in weathered sedimentary deposits. Probabilistic analysis is the most valuable tool to quantify t...
Read MoreBuild One Model, Not Two The accuracy of your results is always dependent on the inputs. All this to say, you shouldn’t assume that any model is 100% correct. However, running the same analysis with...
Read MoreThis case study presents the most relevant aspects of the geomechanical analysis of a cavern complex belonging to a hydroelectric repumping plant. 1. Powerhouse (PH, cavern housing turbines where wat...
