11. Numerical modelling of geomaterials at failure
Abstract : Geotechnical engineering is the science dealing with mechanics of soils and rocks and its engineering applications. Geotechnical engineering projects vary in a wide range, from evaluation of the stability of natural slopes and man-made soil deposits, to the design of earthworks and foundations. READ MORE

12. WINDMILL FOUNDATIONS ON WEAK SOILS
Abstract : Much scientific evidence indicates that the Earth's climate is changing and the world has become more concerned about the global climate. This has encouraged many countries to consider future clean power production with wind power taking an increasing part. READ MORE

13. Preconsolidation Pressure of Soft, High-plastic Clays
Abstract : In the early days only the ground that was best from a geotechnical point of view was used for foundations, but now, owing to the growth of cities and to the rising prices of land, softer and more compressible soils, less suitable for foundations, are also often used.The choice of foundation method is both economically and technically an important matter, and thorough testing of the soil is often needed to determine its geotechnical properties, and thus, to furnish necessary information.

14. Importance of the particle shape on mechanical properties of soil materials
Abstract : Particle shape of soil aggregates is known to influence several engineering properties; such as the internal friction angle, the permeability, etc. Even if this is known, there has been only minor progress in explaining the processes behind its performance and has only partly implemented in practical geotechnical analysis.

15. A Critical Review of the Observational Method
Abstract : Building a sustainable structure in soil or rock that satisfies all predefined technical requirements implies choosing a rational and effective construction method. An important aspect is how the performance of the structure is verified. READ MORE
