CAS ETH in Seismic Evaluation and Retrofitting ’s Post

What is the state of the art in uncertainty quantification? How can we model uncertainties in Civil Engineering? We were pleased and honoured to have Professor Bruno Sudret (Chair of Risk, Safety and Uncertainty Quantification at ETH Zurich) giving a very interesting lecture in this topic for the fourth CAS ETH in Seismic Evaluation and Retrofitting 2024-2025. #uncertaintyquantification #modelling #ethzurich

I am excited to share insights from our recent project on seepage analysis in rock-filled dams. By utilizing advanced geotechnical techniques and simulation models, we've been able to predict and manage water seepage effectively. This work addresses the challenges posed by the heterogeneous nature of rock formations and variable permeability, crucial for ensuring dam stability and safety. Our findings enhance understanding of seepage dynamics, contributing to better design and maintenance strategies to prevent potential failures. This project underscores the importance of innovation and sustainability in civil engineering. Feel free to connect if you're interested in learning more or discussing collaborations! #GeotechnicalEngineering #DamSafety #SeepageAnalysis #CivilEngineering #Sustainability

Settlement Calculation for Normally Consolidated Clays: The Methodology | Geotechnical Engineering This Lecture 51 in series of my YouTube Channel “Geotechnical Engineering Consultancy Tips” describes about the Method of Settlement Calculation for Normally Consolidated Clays as per IS: 8009(Part-I) -1976 Reaffirmed 2018 which lays down that settlement 'S' for normally consolidated plastic cohesive clay soil indicating cohesion is given by S={Cc/(1+e0)} x Ht x Log [(Po+P)/Po]. The same has been explained with different relevant reference clauses of the IS code using it’s figures as well along with a figure of the foundation and the influence zone of which the settlement is to be worked with a case example of a Strip Footing and clarifying it with a format in a Table form for better understanding for all Civil Engineers, Geotechnical Engineers and Structural Engineers #geotechnicalengineeringconsultancytips #anuragkapoor #consolidationsettlement #settlementcalculationofnormallyconsolidatedclays #settlementofnormallyconsolidatedclays #settlementofcohesivesoils #howisconsolidationsettementcalculated #civilengineers #geotechnicalengineering #structuralengineers #IS:8009(Part-I)-1976Reaffirmed2018 #IS8009Part1 #IS1904:2021 #claylayersettlement https://lnkd.in/d83v3Ycu

Importance of Geotechnical Engineering: Geotechnical Investigation for a Civil Engineering Project This Lecture 96 in series of my YouTube Channel “Geotechnical Engineering Consultancy Tips” focusses on Necessity of Subsoil/Subsurface/Geotechnical Investigation in a New Civil Engineering Project, its to be must include components, scope to be covered with reasons explained as well explaining Geotechnical Engineering, Engineering Geology and Geotechnics with their inter-relation. This also covers Reasons and Issues to be Addressed during Soil Investigation, five Stages of Sub-Surface and Geotechnical Investigation as mentioned in Indian Standard Code IS: 1892 – 2021 which are Site Reconnaissance, Preliminary/Detailed Investigation, Construction & Post-Construction Stage Investigation & how an extensive and proper Geotechnical Investigation affect positively both the Technical and Economic feasibility of the Project. It also covers the governing factors behind deciding on the location, number and depth of boreholes to be explored for any Site as well Why Subsurface/Geotechnical Investigation is required? and What should Subsurface/Geotechnical Investigation include? The scope to be covered. The aim of this video is to bring to the fore the importance of Geotechnical Engineering to all those associated with Civil Engineering community and Projects #geotechnicalengineeringconsultancytips #anuragkapoor #geotechnicalengineering #geotechnicalengineeringproject #geotechnicalengineeringlecture #importanceofgeotechnicalengineering #geotechnical #subsoilinvestigation #subsurfaceinvestigation #geotechnicalinvestigation #soiltesting #bearingcapacity #civilengineering #stagesofgeotechnicalinvestigation #foundationengineering #IS1892:2021 https://lnkd.in/dJufDJMR

Basic Design Criteria Requirements of Safe Foundations | Geotechnical Engineering | Safety Criteria This is the 20th Lecture in series of my YouTube Channel "Geotechnical Engineering Consultancy Tips" describing about the three Basic Criterias and Requirements of Safe Foundations which are Location & Depth of Foundation, Bearing Capacity/Shear Criteria and Settlement Criteria. These are utmost important and must to be decided and analysed for finalising the Geotechnical Investigation Report of any proposed new Civil Engineering Structure of any kind and type #geotechnicalengineeringconsultancytips #anuragkapoor #basicrequirementsoffoundations #criteriasandrequirementsofsafefoundations #bearingcapacity #geotechnicalinvestigation #shearcriteria #settlementcriteria #civilengineering #geotechnicalengineering #soilreport #safetycriteriaofgoodfoundations #soiltestreport #subsoilinvestigationreport https://lnkd.in/dwy3Z52c

Though, Geotechnical Engineering is not a scope of Structural Engineers, often times, clients expect you to double up as a #Soilconsultant It is imperative you have some understanding to take important decisions.

How many bore holes 🕳️ are needed 💭🤔 for this site 200 x 200 feet ? The scope of structural engineering is huge. No one has defined it! We often end up doing quite a lot than the real scope. One such additional scope is Geotechnical engineering! Often, clients believe it is a structural scope though Geotechnical engineering is a specialist item. As structural/civil engineers, yes, we need to know a few things though! See if you can comment the answer to todays post?
