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 ...

Limit analysis has emerged as a fundamental approach in geotechnical engineering, providing robust methodologies to assess the stability and ultimate load-carrying capacity of soil–structure systems.

Seminar abstract: The Millennium Tower is a 58-story reinforced concrete building that was constructed in San Francisco, California between 2005 and 2009. The tower is founded on an embedded, ...

The new Narrows Bridge was built just 200 feet south of the existing bridge. Complex stratigraphy, diverse topography, fault-zones, landslide-prone slopes, contaminated soils and endangered species.

The graduate program in geotechnical engineering and geomechanics encompasses a broad spectrum of topics focused on the behavior of soil, rock, geosynthetics, and other porous media. Emphasis is ...

Adel Hanna: “When buildings collapse or lean, the problem usually isn’t the concrete. The problem is the ground.” Geotechnical engineers focus on the design and construction of foundations — among ...

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 ...
