Innovation and invention in geotechnical engineering
Introduction. Geotechnical engineering creates a positive environment for innovation due to its multidisciplinary nature and the fact that people have been involved with the soil in every aspect since the establishment of the first civilizations.

Geotechnical map of a coastal and industrialized urban area (Avilés, NW Spain)
Geotechnical mapping of urban environments is usually constrained by the scarcity of outcrops during fieldwork. Such is the case of Avilés, a coastal Spanish city that has been heavily industrialized since the middle of the last century.

Optimization of Viscoelastic Tuned Mass Damper Systems Subjected to Coloured Excitations
ABSTRACT In recent decades, there has been growing interest in innovative vibration control strategies to improve the structural reliability of buildings and civil structures against earthquakes, windstorms and other dynamic excitations. One of the most effective methods for reducing dynamic responses is the implementation of tuned mass dampers (TMDs),

Predicting dynamic geotechnical parameters in near-surface coastal environment
Conduction of geotechnical survey prior construction is a non-negotiable requirement before the erection of any engineering structure so as to avoid building collapse which has been rampant in our country of late. An easier, faster and relatively cheaper

Investigation of Lateral Stress Relief on theStability of PHI = 0 DEG Slopes Using Laboratory, Fracture Mechanics, and Finite Element Method Approaches [PDF]
Total stress analyses of purely cohesive cut slopes utilize the undrained shear strength for slope stability analyses. These slopes can have an in-situ lateral earth pressure that is greater than the vertical pressure.
