GEOTECHNICAL OBSERVATIONS LIMITED’s Post

Geotechnical Observations - Specialists in Deep Basement Monitoring... Most new construction in congested cities involves digging down as well as building up, and there is often as much of the structure below ground as there is above. Concrete retaining walls contain the basement and must be monitored whilst the earth inside them is removed, and the substructure is formed. Geotechnical Observations can measure displacements of the retaining walls manually, using an inclinometer probe or automatically using ShapeArray (SAA) systems. ShapeArray, a sophisticated tool compared to traditional in-place inclinometers, offers continuous deformation monitoring with high spatial resolution, providing more precise data on wall movements. According to Measurand, ShapeArray is beneficial for its ease of installation and ability to deliver accurate readings even in challenging environments.

Where props are used to support the walls, the loads in them can be measured using strain gauges. The application of these advanced monitoring technologies ensures the safety and stability of deep basement constructions.

🌎#Vibroflotation is a ground improvement technique used in geotechnical engineering. It involves the use of a vibrating probe inserted into the ground to compact loose granular soils, typically sands and gravels. 🔹The entire vibroflotation compaction process in the field can be divided into four stages: -Stage 1: The jet at the bottom of the Vibroflot is turned on and lowered into the ground. -Stage 2: The water jet creates a quick condition in the soil and it allows the vibrating unit to sink into the ground. -Stage 3: Granular material is poured from the top of the hole. The water from the lower jet is transferred to the jet at the top of the vibrating unit. This water carries the granular material down the hole. -Stage 4: The vibrating unit is gradually raised in about 0.3 m lifts and held vibrating for about 30 seconds at each lift. This process compacts the soil to the desired unit weight. #engineering #geotechnicalengineering #groundengineering #groundimprovement #civilengineering

What is dynamic compaction? Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement technique used in geotechnical engineering to densify and strengthen soil. It involves repeatedly dropping a heavy weight from a considerable height onto the ground surface. The impact of the weight creates powerful shock waves that penetrate deep into the ground, causing the soil particles to rearrange and compact, thus increasing the soil's density and load-bearing capacity. This method is commonly employed to stabilize loose or weak soils for construction projects such as roads, highways, embankments, and foundations. There are two main types of dynamic compaction techniques: 1. Drop Weight Compaction: In this method, a heavy weight, typically in the form of a steel drop weight or a crane-mounted hammer, is lifted to a certain height and then released to free-fall onto the ground surface. The impact generates shock waves that densify the soil. 2. Impact Roller Compaction: This technique involves using a heavy vibrating roller with special features to generate dynamic forces. The roller is driven over the ground surface, causing the soil particles to rearrange and compact under the repeated impacts and vibrations. #civilengineering #geotechnicalengineering #civilconstruction

There are different methods to excavate tunnels, and depending on the ground conditions, different equipment can be used. Using a drum cutter for tunnel excavation is one method typically employed for shorter tunnels and tunnel openings where the ground has medium strength.

Uncovering the secrets of soil! 🔍 Sieve analysis is a fundamental test in geotechnical engineering that helps us understand the particle size distribution of soil. This information is crucial for determining the soil's behavior and selecting the appropriate construction methods. For example, well-graded soils with a good balance of particle sizes are often ideal for building foundations as they provide stability and support. On the other hand, for highways, granular soils with larger particle sizes are preferred for better drainage and load-bearing capacity. From highways to buildings, understanding soil composition is key to building strong and durable infrastructure. 🏗️ What are your thoughts on the importance of sieve analysis in your projects?

Bottom Feed Method of Stone Column: In geotechnical engineering, the Bottom Feed Method of stone column installation is a highly effective technique for improving soil strength and load-bearing capacity. This approach involves using a VibroSTA to drive a perforated tip into the ground, followed by the discharge of stone material through a stone tube at the tip's bottom, building the stone column from the bottom up. Key Benefits: Controlled Stone Placement: Stones are compacted as they are placed, ensuring a dense, uniform column. Efficient Deep Installations: Ideal for deeper soil layers, the method provides consistent quality even in challenging conditions. Fluid Assistance: Compressed air helps to discharge the stone material smoothly, preventing clogging and ensuring proper compaction. This method is particularly beneficial for projects requiring enhanced ground stability, such as foundations for large structures or areas with weak soils. It offers a reliable solution for geotechnical engineers looking to optimize soil improvement techniques. #GeotechnicalEngineering #GroundImprovement #StoneColumns #Vibroflotation #ConstructionInnovation #EngineeringSolutions
