A resistivity and time-domain induced polarization (IP) survey was conducted at a landfill site under restoration at Härlöv in Southern Sweden. The covering of the landfill had begun some years ago, without keeping precise records of the work done, as is usual in such procedures. The survey was conducted in two steps, on two adjacent areas. First, a number of geoelectrical sections were made on...

The prediction of rock mass behavior is an important task in many engineering projects, as the behavior of rock masses can be controlled by the presence of discontinuities. Being able to map the structure of a rock mass is crucial to understanding its potential behavior. This understanding can positively impact the safety and efficiency of an engineering project. In this research, rock masses w...

Urban development in South Africa should be preceded by a preliminary stage geotechnical investigation to facilitate decision-making regarding site selection and project feasibility, aid the Environmental Impact Assessment process. These desk studies generally rely on information obtained from published sources, including regional maps, typically only available for major urban centres. It is pr...

This paper presents a numerical technique for geotechnical slope stability analysis, integrating digital image meshing with the scaled boundary finite element method, allowing site conditions such as complex stratigraphies, surface and internal geometry evolution to be simulated in robust straightforward procedure. The quadtree decomposition is used automatically discretise directly from images...

Cone penetration testing (CPT) is a widely used geotechnical engineering in-situ test for mapping soil profiles and assessing properties. In CPT, cone on the end of series rods pushed into ground at constant rate resistance to tip measured (qm). The qm values are utilized characterize profile. Unfortunately, blurred and/or averaged which can result in distortion profile characterization inabili...

The present paper discusses the analysis of solution of groundwater flow in inclined porous media. The problem related to groundwater flow in inclined aquifers is usually common in geotechnical and hydrogeology engineering activities. The governing partial differential equation of one-dimensional groundwater recharge problem has been formed by Dupuit's assumption. Three cases have been discusse...
