In just 7️⃣ days, one of the biggest #geotechnicalengineering events in the world will start - the XVIII European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering in Lisbon, Portugal (#ECSMGE2024). Thanks to the support from Jacobs GID Poland, I have the pleasure of attending the event, and I will be contributing to the conference in various roles over those days: ◾ Sunday (25.08, 14:30-18:30) Co-organising the ISSMGE #ERTC10 & CEN TC250 SC7 Workshop on "The Second Generation Of #Eurocode 7 – Workshop with Design examples for Piles, Ground Improvement and Reinforced Fill". ◾ Monday (26.08, 14:00) Presenting the paper on "Eurocode 7 – Second Generation: Retaining structures – Looking beyond the partial factors for safety in design", as the first in line in Session C1 - a special session dedicated only to the 2nd generation of our favourite standard. ◾ Tuesday (27.08): - 14:00 - I will take a role of Discussion Leader for Session D5 on "Excavations, Tunnelling, Monitoring" - with 11 high quality papers presented during this session, it will definitely be an interesting discussion. - 15:45 - I will have a poster in Session P6 on "#Excavation and #tunnelling impact on existing structures in the context of the second generation Eurocodes". If you are going to attend the conference, please drop in on those sessions or catch me during the breaks if you would like to discuss the presented subjects in person.

I'm thrilled to announce that our recent paper, titled "Micro-Macro Assessment of The Pile Bearing Capacity Interaction with Single and Double Voids in Different Soil Densities Using The Discrete Element Method," has been published in ASCE Publishing prestigious International Journal of Geomechanics. In this study, our team explored the impact of soil variability, influenced by environmental changes, on geotechnical considerations. We focused on underground voids, which significantly affect subsoil structures such as piles. Using a two-dimensional Discrete Elements Method (DEM) model, we investigated voids in sandy soil and their effects on pile behavior, particularly bearing capacity and lateral pressure coefficients. Our results reveal that voids can reduce pile bearing capacity by up to 63% in critical zones, mainly due to decreased resistance at the pile's tip. This highlights the crucial importance of understanding void effects for safe subsoil structure design in geotechnical engineering. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the team members, Prof. Alireza Saeedi Azizkandi and Saman Ghaderi, for their exceptional efforts, contributions, and collaboration.

FUN FACTS ABOUT GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING Geotechnical engineering, despite its serious and crucial role in construction and infrastructure, has its share of intriguing and entertaining aspects. From its ancient roots to modern-day marvels, here are some fun and enlightening facts that shed light on this remarkable field: Ancient Beginnings: Geotechnical engineering has ancient origins, with evidence of early civilizations, such as the Egyptians and Mesopotamians, employing soil mechanics principles in constructing massive structures like pyramids and ziggurats. The art of foundation design goes back thousands of years! Soil Profile as a Fingerprint: Each location has a unique soil profile, like a fingerprint. Geotechnical engineers study these profiles to understand the soil's properties and behavior, crucial for safe construction. Earth's Permeability: The Earth's permeability varies widely. While dry sand can be quite permeable, clay is less so. Understanding these differences is vital in geotechnical engineering, especially in the design of foundations and drainage systems. Permafrost Engineering: In regions with permafrost, engineers use specialized techniques to build on frozen ground. These methods involve insulating foundations to prevent thawing and preserve stability.

🔎 The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) 📖 [IS 2131] is an in-situ test of soil used to determine various engineering properties of soil like the relative density and the angle of shearing resistance. This test gives a measure of soil strength and is extensively used across the world for subsurface exploration. The various soil parameters obtained from this test are used for the design of foundations and also help in ascertaining the viability of the soil for engineering purposes. 📞 Contact strucrete consulting for conducting the soil investigation/Standard penetration test(Lab and field tests).
