Groundwater is an invisible natural resource. It is available in different proportions, in various rock types and at various depths, on the surface layer of the earth. In the historical past, when there is no visible flow of water along Read more
Slabs which are directly laid on the earth, to support walls and other structural elements are called as Slab on grade or Grade Slabs. This type of slab is casted directly on ground level. Grade slab itself acts as a foundation Read more
Wick drains, also known as Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVD) are prefabricated geotextile filter-wrapped plastic strips with molded channels. These act as drainage paths to take pore water out of soft compressible soil so it consolidates faster, often from decades to Read more
Learning through gamification and game-based learning has proven to increase engagement, as it makes the learning process more interesting and fun. Safety training goes beyond mere compliance. To ensure a safe workplace it is necessary that the people who work Read more
Autodesk Construction Cloud connects workflows, teams and data at every stage of construction to reduce risk, maximize efficiency, and increase profits. With radically simple, purpose-built tools for all stakeholders, we’re empowering everyone to collaborate securely from a single source of Read more
In 2022 NOAA reported over 20-billion-dollar disaster events in the United States. For water resource managers looking to improve the way in which they manage flood risk, FEMA’s Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program is a great opportunity to empower their Read more
Waste materials disposal is a significant problem worldwide, necessitating the demand for greater landfill capacity. Our society requires proper administration of these areas in order to improve environmental conditions affecting our quality of life. Sanitary landfills are sites where waste Read more
This interactive and dynamic virtual session will provide you with the key knowledge and aspects that you need to know and master, from a contractual and legal point of view, from starting to finishing a project. By having clear insights Read more
Irrigation is one of the largest consumers of water in the world, which means creating robust—and efficient—micro irrigation systems is essential. Enter computer modeling for network design. You can look at everything from piped irrigation network(s) for conveyance, to distribution and application. Read more
A tunnel boring machine (TBM) also known as a “mole“, is a machine used to excavate tunnels with a circular cross section through a variety of soil and rock strata. They can bore through hard rock, sand, and almost anything in between. Read more
KELLER Group is the World’s largest geotechnical specialist contractor which provides wide range of geotechnical solutions & techniques that are used alone or in combination, these techniques solve a wide range of challenges across the entire construction sector – from Read more
Geosynthetics is a generic name representing a broad range of products, such as geotextiles, geogrids, geonets, geomembranes, geocells, geofoams and geocomposites. They are manufactured under controlled conditions, mainly from the synthetic polymeric materials (e.g., polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide Read more
With Advances in data collection techniques and software have revolutionized the preparation of complex 3D models containing surface and subsurface project data. However, the 3D data is generally communicated by traditional methods such as simplified 2D static images and drawings, Read more
With escalating nuisance of transportation demand and rapid urbanisation in India, innovative solutions and methods are being evolved and borrowed from other countries. Over the last decade numerous Mass Rapid Transit Systems have come up in various cities like Metro Read more
Pile foundations are designed to transfer superstructure loads through positive skin friction and tipresistance while undergoing acceptable settlements. For sites with liquefiable soil, estimating dragload (from soil reconsolidation) and pile settlement (from seismic loads, reduced pile capacity fromexcess pore pressures, Read more
An overview of the forensic geotechnical engineering science will be given, followed by a discussion of the main qualities that forensic engineers must have and the technical and ethical challenges they typically face. A review of a number of forensic Read more
Lidar is a promising tool for evaluating the hazard and behavior of unstable slopes due to its resolution, accuracy, and the ability to process away visual obstacles, such as vegetation. Elevation models processed from lidar are particularly useful as they Read more
Tunnel grouting systems are employed to fill voids between the pipe and the surrounding geological structures at a junction or between two products such as a host pipe and a liner. The purpose of using a grouting system includes improvement Read more
Geotechnical investigations have acquired substantial importance in preventing human and material damage due to the earthquakes, foundation cracks, and other catastrophes. Geotechnical investigations can be as simple as conducting only a visual assessment of the site or as detailed as Read more
