Geotechnical problems are complicated to the extent and cannot be expected in other areas since non-uniformities of existing discontinuous, pores in materials and various properties of the components. At present, it is extremely difficult to develop a program for tunnel analysis that considers all complicated factors.

Lecture Geotechnical engineering: Chapter 4 - One pit mining. After completing this section, you will understand the knowledge about using geological information from drilled holes, the value of the desired mineral in each block is estimated. The cost of mining each particular block is also determined, therefore you can designate a profit value for each block in the mine.

Back analysis is necessary for further design and construction of deep basement projects in urban areas. This paper is to present two case studies that include 3 basements excavated up-to15m below current street level. Both Hardening Soil model (HSM) and Mohr Coulomb model (MCM) were applied for the analyses of geotechnical aspects. Inclinometers were installed to record diaphragm wall’s deflections before construction.

Abstract. Design guidelines for predicting the axial capacity of piles in sand have long been the source of considerable debate due to the geotechnical profession’s inadequate understanding of pile behavior. Analytical studies, alone, cannot re solve the uncertainties in axial capacity predictions due to the complex nature of pile behavior in sand. This chapter presents some of the factors which occur dur ing installation and loading of pipe piles in sand, along with their potential impact on axial capacity. ...

The mitigation of earthquake-related hazards represents a key role in the modern society. The mitigation of such kind of hazards spans from detailed studies on seismicity, evaluation of site effects, and seismo-induced landslides, tsunamis as well as and the design and analysis of structures to resist such actions. The study of earthquakes ties together science, technology and expertise in infrastructure and engineering in an effort to minimize human and material losses when they inevitably occur.

Reviewers provide their comments in writing on Form RCSR or equivalent document. Comments are submitted to the DM electronically via Document Control by the date and time indicated on the review package transmittal letter. If a reviewer has no comments, he/she indicates “No Comments” on the Form RCSR and returns it to Document Control and the DM. The DM conducts a Comment Resolution meeting to document and resolve responses to review comments.

All field investigations are subject to review for data consistency by a qualified senior engineer (discipline lead). These reviews are documented and any abnormalities checked by the senior engineer. All review comments and subsequent actions taken to provide consistent data are documented. These review documents become part of the design quality control documents for the appropriate Schedule Activity. All geotechnical information from field investigation and testing is checked according to Section 4.3.3 (Quality Program for Geotechnical Documents) of this QMP.

Recent major earthquakes around the world have shown the vulnerability of infrastructure and the need for research to better understand the nature of seismic events and their effects on structures. As a result, earthquake engineering research has been expanding as more and more data become available from a large array of seismic instruments, large scale experiments and numerical simulations.

The use of fibre optic sensors in structural health monitoring has rapidly accelerated in recent years. By embedding fibre optic sensors in structures (e.g. buildings, bridges and pipelines) it is possible to obtain real time data on structural changes such as stress or strain. Engineers use monitoring data to detect deviations from a structure’s original design performance in order to optimise the operation, repair and maintenance of a structure over time.
