We are thrilled to announce that Behnam V. Damirchi, Ph.D. from #TetraTechCoffey is one of the selected Candidates invited to present their papers at the Australian Geomechanics Society WA chapter meeting on the 9th of July. Behnam’s presentation is titled “Revisiting Hydro-Mechanical Coupling in Geotechnical Engineering: Analysing Fractured Porous Media with a Newly Developed FEM-Based Approach”. In this presentation, Behnam will delve into the complexities of the necessity of revisiting the coupled seepage-stress processes in geological porous media consisting of arbitrarily oriented fractures and discontinuities. This discussion could benefit academics, practitioners, and designers in the fields of geotechnical engineering. Behnam explains, “I bring both academic and industry perspectives to this topic and aim to combine these views to discuss a subject that is central to many failures in geomechanics and geotechnical engineering”. Thank you, Behnam for sharing your valuable knowledge to help advance geotechnical engineering!

The XVIII European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (#ECSMGE2024) starts on Monday, August 26, in Lisbon. Mirosław Lipiński, Wojciech Tymiński, and Tomasz Kiełczewski will represent our company at this event. Two articles co-authored by our colleagues will be published in the conference proceedings, and Mirosław Lipiński will present his. The article topics are: 1) Various approaches to derive state of tailings materials on the basis of shear wave velocity measurement. - M.J. Lipiński, M. Wdowska, I. Puspitaningrum 2) The influence of clay and silt content on reducing stiffness of soil in a small range of strains. - W. Tymiński, T. Kiełczewski, P. Stajszczak In addition to the lectures, we will attend the meetings with representatives of companies and academic institutions with which we cooperate. If you will be there too, we will happily meet you to discuss geotechnics. #ECSMGE2024 #soilmechanics #GeotechnicalEngineering #resonantcolumn #tailings #ISSMGE

📢📰 Publication Alert: “Thermo-hydro-mechanical viscoplastic constitutive model for polyester strap reinforcement long-term response” CIMNE researchers Anibal M., Dr. Ivan P. Damians, and Dr. Sebastia Olivella have published a groundbreaking manuscript detailing a viscoplastic constitutive model to simulate the long-term response of polyester materials. 🔎 MAIN TAKEAWAYS • Model Accuracy: Accurately simulates long-term response under various conditions. • Creep Prediction: Effectively predicts primary and secondary creep mechanisms. • Simplified Approach: For lower loads, a simplified model focusing on primary creep is sufficient. ✨ WHY IT IS IMPORTANT ✔️ Innovative Approach: Comprehensive method for predicting polyester strap behaviour. ✔️ Practical Applications: Aids in designing durable reinforced soil structures. ✔️ Environmental Impact: Helps manage resources and reduce degradation. 👍🏽 We commend our colleagues from the Geomechanics and Hydrogeology Research Cluster for advancing geotechnical engineering! 🔗 Read the full paper: https://lnkd.in/d_yfRugB #Research #GeotechnicalEngineering #PolyesterReinforcement #CIMNE #Innovation

Event Reminder - BGA Half-day Mini-Symposium on The Observational Method - 6th February 2024. The BGA Half-day Mini-Symposium on 'The Observational Method', is being held tomorrow (06/02/24) at 14:00, at the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). Lunch will be available from 12.30. ADVANCE BOOKING IS REQUIRIED - only those only those that have registered will be able to attend the event, which includes the lunch and the drinks reception. Event Synopsis: The Observational Method (OM) in ground engineering is a game-changer, recognised by recent codes and introduced by Peck in 1969. It's all about achieving greater overall economy without compromising safety. Key Speakers: -         Professor Tony O’Brien FREng (Mott MacDonald) -         Dr Ying Chen (TYPSA UK & Ireland Limited) -         Mr Daniele Fornelli (Geotechnical Observations Limited) This mini symposium, hosted by the BGA, will delve into, conditions enabling OM use, real-time back analysis, and field monitoring for OM support. Don't miss this opportunity to learn, collaborate, and share your expertise.

fibrisTerre is now an International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) Corporate Associate. Why? ISSMGE is ‘the pre-eminent professional body representing the interests and activities of Engineers, Academics and Contractors all over the world that actively participate in geotechnical engineering.’ Founded in 1936, the ISSMGE provides a global focus for professional leadership to some 90 Member Societies and around 20,000 individual members. fibrisTerre is a supplier of specialist instruments (strain, deformation and temperature monitoring using fiber optics) to a global market. So here's why we joined: The global reach of #ISSMGE reflected our ambitions and we have huge respect for: ✅ the work of the thirty Technical Committees (https://lnkd.in/gW35eapU), ✅ the quality of information shared at conferences, in publications and in its video series. ✅ the Young Members Presidential Group, which provides a network of liaisons around the world. ✅ papers being open source, so important in spreading knowledge and good practice. ✅ the valuable online library which is freely available. Here is the ISSMGE video and yes, in addition to the above 'logical' reasons to join, fibrisTerre loves geotechnical engineering ❤️ : https://lnkd.in/gbZr58zB #ISSMGE #geotechnicalengineering #groundengineering #fiberopticsensing #infrastructuremonitoring #civilengineering #geotechnics

#Callforpaper The Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled "Advances in Marine Geotechnical Engineering—2nd Edition", which is based on the great success of our previous Special Issue with the same title. This Special Issue aims to advance different state-of-the-art survey methods in marine geotechnical engineering, marine material property determination and site investigation, constitutive models of marine geotechnical materials, and marine structural response analysis through experiments, numerical simulations, and field seafloor scour. Advances in marine geotechnical engineering can be achieved via the application of scientific knowledge and engineering techniques to the investigation of seafloor materials and the characterization of the seafloor’s physical properties. Seafloor soil behavior in relation to infrastructural construction on the seafloor is poorly understood. With the rapid development of marine resource exploration in recent years, coastal geohazard and offshore geotechnical engineering have attracted the attention of coastal geotechnical engineers and made significant progress. Authors are encouraged to submit theoretical, numerical, experimental, and applied articles addressing this theme. Guest Editor: Dr. Hem B. Motra Kiel University More at: https://lnkd.in/edTUUsvP Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 January 2025

One of the critical points highlighted was the importance of #monitoring #vibration levels to protect adjacent #structures in #dynamic #compaction. By carefully calculating the impact of drop weight, lifting heights, and pounder dimensions, we can ensure #vibration thresholds remain within #safe limits.

➡️ Grateful thanks to Thomas Marcher for the opportunity to contribute as a guest #speaker at the "Advanced Rock Mechanics and Tunneling" seminar at RMT @ TU Graz. In yesterday's session, we delved into "Wide-area ground and structural #monitoring with satellite-based #InSAR," an integral component of the seminar's curriculum. This advanced technology plays a crucial role in modern engineering and environmental monitoring.   🛰️ Attendees were introduced to the practical application of InSAR data for high-precision monitoring of impacts on structures and buildings due to subsurface changes. This session emphasized the significance of accurate data in understanding and mitigating potential #risks associated with geological and environmental changes.   🏗️ Examples discussed included both natural phenomena and man-made alterations, such as groundwater fluctuations, which can have substantial effects on infrastructure. The attached image provides a clear example, showcasing the monitoring outcomes on #Vienna's city center, highlighting how these techniques are applied in real-world scenarios influenced by #construction activities. #MatchSAR #subsidence #sentinel1 #copernicus #EarthObservation #remotesensing
