Read MoreWhen it comes to open pit mines, generally, the steeper the slopes, the greater the ore extraction, but at what cost to safety? This is an age-old question for geotechnical engineers working in the m...
Read MoreBuild One Model, Not Two The accuracy of your results is always dependent on the inputs. All this to say, you shouldn’t assume that any model is 100% correct. However, running the same analysis with...
Read MoreSlope failure induced by rainfall is a common geotechnical problem in tropical locations with abundant soils; landslides in Hong Kong are one such example. Soils found in tropical locations typically...
Read MoreAn overview of the application of XFEM in jointed rock slopes for discontinuities Introduction: Modeling jointed rock slopes is one of the more challenging problems in rock mechanics. The position an...
Read MoreRetaining systems are an essential part of any substructure construction. Just as vital is the confidence that they will be safe – and stay safe – at every point in their life. PLAXIS offers the rare...
Read MoreBy Reginald Hammah and Frema Awuku-Asabere A lot has been written about 3D slope stability analysis generating factors of safety that can be higher than 2D results by up to 20%. But is this true? We...
Read MoreA landslide on Black Mountain Road is believed to be the biggest experienced on the Sunshine Coast in 30 years. The road is just west of the Bruce Highway, not far from Cooroy. Geotechnical assessmen...
