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 ...

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 ...

Pilings based on snakeskin are easier to drive into soil and more difficult to pull out, according to lab tests at the UC Davis Center for Geotechnical Modeling. These pilings could one day support ...

Deep geological disposal is a globally recognized and safe method for long-term management of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). However, over extended periods of nuclear waste storage, there is the ...

Offshore wind energy has emerged as a pivotal contributor to the global renewable energy portfolio. Central to this technology is the development of robust foundation systems that can reliably support ...

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 ...

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.
