Geo Engineer 401
As many mega million civil projects have turned into turnkey EPC type, project engineer should be able to account for the risk of project in their geotechnical design and construction process. Have you ever considered risk/reliability analysis in your project like below examples?
- Probabilistic estimation of site compressible soil thickness to determine EBS cost/time after preloading
- Decide major direction of new monitoring well installation for natural attenuation site and estimation of site specific dispersion coefficient based on historic analytical data from existing monitoring wells
- Probabilistic settlement amounts of railway/roadway being built on compressible soil
- Estimate the termination time of preloading based on field monitoring data
- Reliability analysis for alluvial foundation layer under new dam against internal erosion
- Create an optimal gradation recipe of site core materials to extend filter service life of chimney filter considering retention, drainage and anti-segregation criteria.
- Optimize inundation time of lixiviant to enhance the recovery of heap leach pad and save the operation cost based on unsaturated flow simulation considering tailing grain size distribution
- Calculate probability density function in factor of safety of retaining wall/slope stability check based on various soil/backfill strength parameters
