1. understand the central place occupied by Limit Equilibrium methods and Modes of Failure in geotechnical design, 2. know about various retaining wall types and be able to analyse typical cases, 3.

Emphasis is placed on integrating engineering analyses with experimental observations to form the basis of static and dynamic designs for geotechnical engineering structures such as foundations, ...

Construction Administration senior lecturer Dr. Evangelia Ieronymaki shares insights from this conference, which explored the ...

Recent research showed that this material can be considered as an alternative for some conventional materials in construction industries, including geotechnical structures. However, before extensive ...

Our specialist work areas include: geohazards such as landslides, sinkholes and soil instability; optimised design and construction; offshore engineering; physical modelling of geotechnical processes; ...

Geotechnical engineering faculty collaborate closely with faculty focusing on pavements and structures engineering as well as with faculty in the University's Mackay School of Mines and Engineering.

The module will provide students with a greater understanding of 'modelling' in geotechnical engineering, applied to the analysis and design of large scale geotechnical structures and systems, such as ...
