Mitigation actions related to quick-clay slopes often induce undesirable changes to the terrain that may have negative impact on developed areas and local biodiversity. Soil improvement may prevent this. Lime-cement piling ...

Stiffness of soils in the small strain region is high and it decays nonlinearly with increasing shear strains or with mobilization of shear stresses. However, the commonly used critical state based constitutive models use ...

The European Large Geotechnical Institutes Platform (ELGIP) is a group of 14 European research organizations, leading in geotechnical engineering, which aims to promote internationally the profession, its network and its ...

Cost overruns caused by unforeseen geological challenges are commonplace for large infrastructure projects. Thorough ground investigations can reduce this risk, but geotechnical drillings and laboratory test are expensive ...

Drilling for foundation piles and tieback anchors through soils using a continuous casing to support the borehole is often referred to as "overburden drilling". Monitoring data from several case studies show that overburden ...

Since the early 70's ground improvement by use of stabilizing agents such as lime and cement has been widely used for solving geotechnical problems; either as a way to improve slope stability, reduce settlements or vibrations, ...

Planners and engineers increasingly discovered nature as a source of inspiration to mitigate hydro-meteorological risks resulting from extreme weather events. Actors are realizing advantages of such solutions known as ...

The extensive use of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) has resulted in many environmental point and diffuse sources. Identifying the source responsible for a pollution hot spot is vital for assessing remediation ...

This technical note documents the calibration of REDWIN foundation model 2 and distributed p-y springs for the WAS-XL monopile in clay with a length over diameter ratio (L/D) of 5. The calibration files will be used by the ...
