In actuality , we wanna verify that the foundations of a an existing construction meet the ULS and SLS requirements. But we can't do that if we don't have any clue on the foundation dimensions and depth

That's the issue. Because there are no clearances outside of the house to perform trial pitswe wanna detect footing dimensions through the tile floor without the need for excavations

Hi Are there any non destructive methods to detect shallow foundations inside a house without the use of trial pits ? like geophysical methods for example ? Thanks

Much appreciated thanks

Yes but the laboratory who performed them didn't have EDX, but still I have Xrd results.

Hello I know this isn't geotechnical engineering per se but it's close enough because we're addressing soil stabilization. So I want someone to help me analyze and determine the minerals present in these two SEM pictures, the first one is an untreated marly clay and the second is the same soil...

I knew I had to clarify that I don't live in the US and getting anything from amazone is tricky Hats why I wanna produce them

Hi I don't know if this is the right forum, but I was wondering does anyone has any information or videos on how to manufactor crack gauges like these. Thanks

bumping this thread for another question , i don't want to spam another thread Are there any softwares that help you draw cracks on a building in 3D? Thanks

gordongeo that guide looks interesting thank you

I've currently working for a company who tries to be an expert firm at diagnosing and fixing building, all the engineers here are structural and none have solid knowledge in Geotechnical engineering. So it's not about a specific project but tomorrow I will post some pictures of my recent project...

Well I am a geotech in case you didn't notice. But my fellow structural engineers in my company are not true engineers they don't exhibit engineering judgment. Anyway, aside from the questions you mentioned above, are there any guides or documents in this matter?

Hi i hope you guys are doing great I was hoping if you could provide me with a document that helps me interpret cracks on building caused by soil deformations as in settlement , heave and shrinking using drawing or something Thank you

PEinc hank you my man, your PDF was quiet interesting

I meant soil structure interaction analysis meaning modeling the entire structure and its foundations with the soil, or transferring the structure stiffness matrix to a FE soil software

could you please re-upload your file? Also I wanna know if there is a need for a coupled soil structure analysis in this project

when you mentioned the idea about counter forts against the outer walls I was like: Picasso, I like this. It's a brilliant idea even if it will take up some space inside the floors. That being said, because of the sloped terrain, I don't think it will be possible to transfer the loads through...

Hi We have a task to design an embedded retaining solution for 3 underground floors in an urbain environment . The ground is however sloped at 19 degree angle. As shown in the figure attached, the excavated upper part will be about 40 ft and the length of the excavation is about 118 ft...

Thank you again

Hi If we assume an infinite clayey silt soil that's overconsolidated with regards to effective overburden pressure plus applied stresses,then the soil receives water from drainage leakage underneath the foundations, does settlement initiate in these conditions. For the record, water contents...
