Enhance your geotechnical engineering skills with our Introduction to Unsaturated Soil Mechanics course! This one-day course covers key concepts like soil suction, shear strength theory, and slope stability, with a focus on real-world engineering applications such as landfill cover systems, embankments, and temporary trench excavations. Whether you're a student, researcher, or engineer, this course will provide the advanced knowledge you need to tackle complex geotechnical challenges confidently. https://zurl.co/JOFRr #GeotechnicalEngineering #SoilMechanics #EngineeringSkills

Hello, Connections! As a graduate student pursuing my Master's in Geotechnical Engineering at Texas Tech University, I’ve been fortunate to explore advanced topics this semester—most notably deep foundations. This image captures a remarkable high-mast light pole supported by deep foundation systems, possibly drilled shafts or driven piles, designed to resist lateral loads from wind and provide vertical load-bearing capacity. It’s inspiring to see practical applications of the theories and methods I’ve studied in class! The Deep Foundations course has equipped me with critical insights into design methodologies, soil-structure interaction, load transfer mechanisms, and construction challenges. From understanding axial and lateral capacities to evaluating the influence of subsurface conditions, this semester has been pivotal in building my technical foundation (pun intended!). I look forward to contributing to the field of geotechnics and solving real-world foundation challenges! #GeotechnicalEngineering #DeepFoundations #CivilEngineering #TexasTechUniversity #EngineeringInPractice #GraduateStudentLife

I recently had the privilege of attending an insightful online workshop on Limit State Design Theory and Practice in Geotechnics and Structures organized by the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division (SMFD) of the The Canadian Geotechnical Society / La Société canadienne de géotechnique The session, led by prominent experts delved into critical topics such as the application of limit state design for deep foundations, highlighting case studies from Southern Ontario. This workshop broadened my understanding of probabilistic approaches and reliability-based design in geotechnical engineering, reinforcing the importance of integrating advanced analysis tools into engineering practice. A big thank you to the organizers and speakers for such a valuable learning experience! #GeotechnicalEngineering #LimitStateDesign #ProfessionalDevelopment #StructuralEngineering

Announcing a new training: MANAGING THE COMPLEXITIES AND UNCERTAINTIES OF SOIL SEQUENCES FOR HYDROGEOLOGIC AND GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS, 3-part series. May 7-8-9, 2025 at Glacial Till Winery and Vineyard, Lincoln, Nebraska. Part?1, Principles?(Day One) Part?2, Field Strategies?(Day Two) Part?3, Soil Core Analysis, Correlation, and Soils Logging Day?(Day Three) For sedimentary sequences, there are many things to learn in this class that can be applied to any site. For example, depositional processes from different environments, erosional processes and re-sedimentation, stratigraphy, classification, soil development, secondary jointing, and weathering zones. Each of these attributes directly control the hydrogeologic system and the nature of geotechnical properties. And each attribute is critical for understanding ground water gradients, monitoring, modeling, contaminant fate and transport, dewatering, and the design of excavations, foundations, tunnels. midwestgeo.com

?? Excited to share that I have successfully completed a Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering course! ?? This experience has deepened my understanding of soil mechanics, site characterization, and the critical role geotechnics plays in engineering projects. I’m eager to apply this knowledge to future endeavors and contribute to innovative solutions in the field. #GeotechnicalEngineering #ProfessionalDevelopment #ContinuousLearning

"Geology? Why do you want to learn about rocks?" ?? At sixth form, this was the question I was often faced with, especially as Geology is a rare A Level. However today, as an Apprentice Civil Engineer at Jacobs working within ground engineering, I'm continuously benefitting from the knowledge that I have learnt in sixth form. ?? Having a background understanding of geological processes and properties has provided me with context that is vital for a Geotechnical Engineer, especially as an apprentice. I've learnt that ground conditions govern what we do as Geotechnical Engineers, and it's vital that it is understood, and that the related risks are communicated. I'm also fortunate to be working alongside many experienced Geotechnical Engineers and Geologists that I am constantly learning from. ?? At the University of Warwick we have recently begun a module titled Civil Engineering Design, which has a Geotechnical element. In order to understand the more complex engineering problems, such as within soil mechanics, geological knowledge is required. ?? Furthermore (spoiler alert), Geology is not just rocks! In the A Level course we covered a variety of areas including climate change, evolutionary biology and even touched upon the solar system. It's a science which has always fascinated me, and it's application into Civil Engineering is especially interesting. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Beauchamp City Sixth Form for continuing to offer the subject despite challenges, and hope that they continue to do so in the future! ??Don't be afraid to study something that you find interesting even if it is seen as 'unconventional', you never know where it could take you! #geology #geotechnicalengineering #degreeapprentice #civilengineering

???? Civil engineers are some of the engineering professional that best understand and discriminate the concepts of discrete and continuum. We work with waiter concepts in many different situations. This is one really fine great example to discriminate both concepts #science #engineering #geology #design #creativity #innovation #research #STEM ??????

In this video, I demonstrate the Unconsolidated Undrained (UU) Triaxial Test, a key experiment in soil mechanics. This test is crucial for analyzing shear strength parameters, helping us better understand soil behavior under different conditions. Advantage of Triaxial soil test are: 1. Realistic Analysis: Understand soil behavior under undrained conditions. 2. Shear Strength Data: Provides key parameters for safe design. 3. Versatile Application: Useful for various soil types. 4. Hands-On Learning: Bridges theory and practical skills. 5. Industry-Relevant: Essential for geotechnical engineering careers.

The XVIII European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (#ECSMGE2024) starts on Monday, August 26, in Lisbon. Miros?aw Lipiński, Wojciech Tymiński, and Tomasz Kie?czewski will represent our company at this event. Two articles co-authored by our colleagues will be published in the conference proceedings, and Miros?aw Lipiński will present his. The article topics are: 1) Various approaches to derive state of tailings materials on the basis of shear wave velocity measurement. - M.J. Lipiński, M. Wdowska, I. Puspitaningrum 2) The influence of clay and silt content on reducing stiffness of soil in a small range of strains. - W. Tymiński, T. Kie?czewski, P. Stajszczak In addition to the lectures, we will attend the meetings with representatives of companies and academic institutions with which we cooperate. If you will be there too, we will happily meet you to discuss geotechnics. #ECSMGE2024 #soilmechanics #GeotechnicalEngineering #resonantcolumn #tailings #ISSMGE
