Biological 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 کاملDesktop 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 کاملReal-Time Insight in Geotechnical Risks; Monitoring During the Observational Method
Designing challenges engineers to develop both economically attractive and safe designs. This might seem a paradox, but with the application of the observational method, wherein safety is checked by real-time monitoring, economic design and safety are united. The observational method is recently successfully applied in the Netherlands during the excavation works of the double layered tunnel acr...
