The development of a small - scale geotechnical teaching centrifuge
Geotechnical engineering is a core discipline within civil engineering that supports the infrastructure development which underpins modern society. The simulation of realistic geotechnical design at undergraduate level is often restricted to routine calculation-based methods reinforced by simple element laboratory tests which fail to provide a holistic learning experience. Using the latest rese...
متن کاملdetermination of virtual cohesion in unsaturated sand trenches, using geotechnical centrifuge
classical soil mechanics involves the study of fully saturated soils. however, many problems encountered in geotechnical engineering practice involve unsaturated soil, in which behavior is significantly different from classical saturated soil. negative pore pressure and capillary forces develop a virtual cohesion between the grains of semi saturated soils. this kind of cohesion is dependent on ...
متن کاملInterpretation of Geotechnical Report
Geotechnical engineering deals with the safe transmittal of loads due to various engineering applications to, and into, the soil or rock mass. The soil and rock mass formations are heterogeneous and generally are subjected to stresses (due to various engineering applications) which are additional to those presently existing in the earth mass from its self weight and geological history. Due to t...
متن کاملRobotic Lunar Geotechnical Tool
Rover-mounted geotechnical systems are of paramount importance to lunar trafficability assessment, construction, and excavation/mining toward establishing permanent human presence on the Moon. These tools can also be used to determine density, when the regolith is used as radiation shield, for example. Two popular insitu devices for establishing geotechnical properties of soil are the Static Co...
متن کاملASCE Geotechnical and Construction
The Jackson Lake Dam was constructed in 1917 in the Grand Teton National Park near Jackson, Wyoming. The dam was a hydraulic fill placed on a natural alluvium and outwash foundation. The Bureau of Reclamation (Burec) determined that the dam and its foundation would be susceptible to liquefaction and failure during a potential earthquake; a series of contracts was let to remove and replace the d...
