Civil geotechnical engineering is a multidisciplinary field dedicated to understanding soil–structure interactions and ensuring the safe transfer of loads from man‐made structures to the ground. At ...

On May 8, 1981, the ground collapsed beneath Mae Rose Williams’ house and changed forever the life of Jim Jammal. A geotechnical engineer with an office a block away, Jammal witnessed the Winter Park ...

Geotechnical engineer Andy Jesik spent the first half of his career dividing his time between Denver and various assignments around the globe: Peru, Colombia, Mexico and the African Congo, among other ...

I grew up in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, a small French-speaking town in Québec, Canada. In Québec, almost all the electricity (close to 97%) comes from hydroelectricity due to its extensive freshwater ...

The Committee on Geological and Geotechnical Engineering (COGGE), established in 2001, is the focal point within the National Academies for scientific, technical, and public-policy issues pertaining ...

When I was a kid, I discovered a Calvin and Hobbes comic strip that posed one of my own burning questions: How do they know the load limit on bridges? Calvin’s dad (incorrectly) tells him, “They drive ...

Geotechnical engineering remains a cornerstone of civil infrastructure, addressing the stability, strength, and deformation behaviour of soil masses and their interaction with built structures. Recent ...

Geotechnical and structural designers for the Jeddah Tower had to work through more than two dozen iterations before they aligned the design of the foundations with the design of the 1-kilometer-plus ...

A team of New Zealand-based software designers that brought digital 3D modeling to engineering geotechnics less than two years ago recently launched an upgrade to their software, which is now being ...

The Geotechnical Engineering and Geomechanics group frequently holds public seminars from visiting researchers and practitioners. If you are interested in giving a seminar, please contact one of the ...

Geotechnical Engineers are Equal Parts Engineer, Scientist, and Magician! Geotechnical Engineers study the many layers of soil and rock beneath our feet to allow us to build on, with, and in the earth ...
