Desktop GIS for Geotechnical Engineering
A desktop Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for Geotechnical Information Management system has recently been developed to assist geo-technical managers, planners through flexible application with all common desktop GIS functionalities and customized tools like Borehole Viewer and Stripchart to relate alignments and cross-sections to a specific location and/or region on the map, and create th...
متن کاملBiological Considerations in Geotechnical Engineering
The understanding of soil behavior during the last 300 years has centered on mechanical principles, geological processes, and later on, mineralogy and the relevance of colloidal chemistry. More recently, research in biology and earth science has enabled important advances in understanding the crucial involvement of microorganisms in the evolution of the earth, their ubiquitous presence in near ...
متن کاملTeaching Geotechnical Engineering using Professional Practice
It is a famous q uote that “Every structur e is supported on soils or rock, t hose that aren’t, either fly, float, or fall over”. Soils are natural deposits on which humans have no control. Soils at no two sites are likely to be the same. Even, at a particular point at a sit e, different types of soils exist at different depths. Several theories and formulas have been developed since the birth ...
متن کاملDigital Image Analysis in Geotechnical Engineering Education
Existing research has shown that visual input significantly contributes to learning, therefore, it is paramount to use visual tools to help demonstrate engineering concepts. One of these tools, digital image analysis, can help effectively communicate complex concepts to students in a simple and understandable format as a supplement to traditional lecturing, while simultaneously enabling student...
