The ground below their feet can make the difference between a solid foundation or a house of cards. In our first article, The Basics of Soil Classification, we discussed the four basic soil types and what systems are used to classify their subtypes.

Fundamentals Applications Of Rock Mech: Deb

Rock mechanics is a first course in the field of mining and geotechnical engineering. Over the last decades, the concepts and applications of rock mechanics have evolved tremendously for understanding the stability and safety of structures made of/on the rock masses.

Geotechnical Engineering Fundamentals: Basic Soil

Geotechnical engineering is a branch of civil engineering and deals with the mechanical behavior of soil and rock, and their interaction with structures. Most engineers with responsibility for design and construction of structure, energy and transportation systems

The Basics of Soil Classification For Geotechnical

2020/2/19Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) The Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) is a standardized way for geotechnical engineers to describe soil. The classification is used in the design of structural-related projects, such as bridges, retaining walls, and buildings.

Ground support for tunnels in rock

In rock tunnels, these failure mechanisms are different than those observed in soft ground tunneling and soil mechanics due to the discontinuous nature of rock masses. One must consider and understand the inherent inter-relation between these failure mechanisms and the three basic ground support principles in rock tunneling: (a) suspension, (b) reinforcement and (c) surface retention.

Honey-comb Structure This structure can occur only in fine-grained soils, especially in silt and rock flour. Due to the relatively smaller size of grains, besides gravitational forces, inter-particle surface forces also play an important role in the process of settling down.

Geotechnical Construction Drilling

The specialty geotechnical construction processes of routing, anchoring, micropiling, soil nailing and ground freezing all require the drilling of holes through overburden and rock. Part 1 of the article series focused on rock drilling; here, we look at overburden drilling.

Takeaway: Geotechnical reports are like a road map for a project: They try to tell you what's ahead, what to expect and what to watch out for. Without them, workers would be flying blind. Much importance has been attributed to geotechnical reports, primarily because of their ability to steer a project in the right direction, whether it is the planning of the route or selection of machinery and
