His current work is conducted in avenues of basic research relevant to granular material behavior as well as applicable research related to pile design and construction. The basic research ...

Adel Hanna: “When buildings collapse or lean, the problem usually isn’t the concrete. The problem is the ground.” Geotechnical engineers focus on the design and construction of foundations — among ...

Offshore wind energy has emerged as a pivotal contributor to the global renewable energy portfolio. Central to this technology is the development of robust foundation systems that can reliably support ...

One geotechnical and environmental expert has urged others in the field to commit to more in-situ testing rather than allowing all tests to take place in the lab. Dr Chris Haberfield, principal at ...

This publication is a revision of the former safety standards of IAEA Safety Series No. 50-SG-S8. The scope has been extended to cover not only foundations but also design questions related to ...

Our research group is dedicated to advancing geotechnical engineering through the development of cutting-edge models and rigorous material testing, contributing to a deeper understanding of soil ...

Foundations are an untapped source of cost savings in PV power plants. Image: PRI Engineering. The foundations of a solar project offer multiple opportunities for driving down system costs. Arash ...

The instructional geotechnical laboratory is used to conduct laboratory sessions that are part of the coursework for undergraduate classes. The lab consists of five triaxial cell setups which can be ...

The new Narrows Bridge was built just 200 feet south of the existing bridge. Complex stratigraphy, diverse topography, fault-zones, landslide-prone slopes, contaminated soils and endangered species.
