UC Davis researchers have created a dataset for understanding how bridges, bridge pilings and the soil beneath them respond when earthquake shaking causes soils to liquefy. (Getty Images) Can a bridge ...

The National Science Foundation will award almost $5 million over five years to UC Davis to include the large earthquake-simulating centrifuge at the Center for Geotechnical Modeling as part of the ...

A discussion about the importance of instrumentation in geotechnical engineering would be incomplete without referring to Professor R. Peck’s landmark paper titled “Advantages and Limitations of the ...

Geotechnical engineering, geotechnical centrifuge modeling, frozen soil behavior, computer modeling of particulate materials, soil-structure interaction and integral abutment bridge design. Predictive ...

Pile group interaction during lateral loading reduces lateral resistance. Based on full-scale lateral pile group testing, the reduction is a function of pile spacing, row position and soil type.

The rapid expansion and upgrading of transportation infrastructure, particularly roads, railways, and airport runways, are placing unprecedented pressure on ...

Atlas Salt has appointed Terrane Geoscience Inc. and GEMTEC Consulting Engineers and Scientists Ltd. to lead the comprehensive geotechnical and hydrogeological investigation for the proposed decline ...
