Добрый день, Коллеги. Важное сообщение, просьба принять участие. Музей Ферсмана ищет помощь для реставрационных работ в помещении. Подробности по ссылке
Site characterization is a fundamental step towards the proper design, construction and long term performance of all types of geotechnical projects, ranging from foundation, excavation, earth dams, embankments, seismic hazards, environmental issues, tunnels, near and offshore structures. The Fourth International Conference on Site Characterization (ISC’4) was held near the beautiful coastal town of Porto de Galinhas, Pernambuco – Brazil, from September 18-21, 2012, under the responsibility of TC-102/TC-16 on In-Situ Testing of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), the Brazilian Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ABMS), and the Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil (UFPE). The fourth conference followed the successful series of international conferences held in Atlanta (ISC-1, 1998), Porto (ISC-2, 2004), and Taipei (ISC-3, 2008).
This unique congress brings together the best of what the Geotechnical Engineering Institute and the Structural Engineering Institutes have to offer. In celebration of both Institutes twentieth anniversary we joined together to offer the attendees a great opportunity to exchange knowledge and network with colleges from another engineering institute. The joint congress features a robust technical program of sessions focusing on geotechnical, structural, professional practice, and blended topics. <...>
Technical Committee 204: “Underground Construction in Soft Ground” of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) was first established as TC28 in 1989 to provide a forum for interchange of ideas and discussion amongst representatives from different countries with an active interest in tunnelling and deep excavations in the urban environment. In 1994, under the Chairmanship of Prof. Keiichi Fujita, TC28 organised its first symposium as a satellite event to the ISSMGE International Conference in New Delhi.
Indian Geotechnical Conference (IGC 2018) was held at the National Science Complex of the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, during 13–15 December 2018. This is the annual conference of the Indian Geotechnical Society (IGS), which was established in the year 1948 with the aim to promote cooperation among the engineers, scientists and practitioners for the advancement and dissemination of knowledge in the field of geotechnical engineering. IGC 2018 was a special event since it coincided with the 70 years celebrations of IGS.
There is a vast difference between a structural engineer and a geotechnical engineer in terms of the material being used. A structural engineer defines the properties of the concerned material, such as concrete or steel, and carries out only a limited number of control tests according to the required standards. In contrast, the material used by a geotechnical engineer is natural and thus, by definition, it can be spatially heterogeneous and, in composition, it can be multiphasic, discontinuous or even anisotropic. This leaves the geotechnical engineer with no choice but to accept it as it is and to accommodate themselves to it. Moreover, while developments in numerical modeling depend increasingly on specific advanced test parameters, soil testing programs remain limited because of the competition between contractors to reduce costs and time.
Underground metalliferous mining in Australia began in the mid-1840s at the copper and silver–lead mines in and around Kapunda and Burra in South Australia. Mining in the Victorian goldfields following the discovery of gold and the Gold Rush of 1851 was initially alluvial but soon evolved into the underground mining of deep leads and then quartz veins.
Geotechnical engineering is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials. Geotechnical engineering is important in civil engineering, but also has applications in military, mining, petroleum and other engineering disciplines that are concerned with construction occurring on the surface or within the ground.
The book sets out to present a state of practice of the geotechnical engineering of embankment dams and their foundations and the geotechnical engineering of the foundations of concrete dams. It assumes that the reader is trained in Civil Engineering or Engineering Geology, with knowledge of soil and rock mechanics.
Experimental investigation requires an appreciation for more than the individual test method. In order to perform the tests effectively, interpret the measurements properly, and understand the results, background information is required on a variety of general topics.
