Australian Small Bridges Conference’s Post

ACCEPTED ABSTRACTS 12th Australian Small Bridges Conference, 22-23 Oct 2024, Gold Coast Australia. The list of our accepted abstracts as of 14 June is https://lnkd.in/gSyiCXQw SECOND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS CLOSES 14 JUNE -SUBMIT NOW To propose an abstract for presentation, you MUST use the ABSTRACT SUBMISSION FORM. Go to www.smallbridges.com.au and scroll down the webpage to read on HOW TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT and to download the form. Projects, topics and speakers, can be located anywhere in the world, and do not have to be Australian. Bridges can be small to medium span bridges, and culverts are also part of our speaking program, as are associated civil and geotechnical works. Please see our topics list in our POSSIBLE ABSTRACTS -TOPICS Tab as a guide as to what abstracts may be suitable, however abstracts on other topics will also be reviewed. You can also look at the abstracts that were accepted for previous conferences as a guide. EARLYBIRD DELEGATE REGISTRATION closes in the near future. Register online now.

Application of geotechnical engineering to mitigate drainage in bodies of water, for this particular case: several bodies of water have dried up inside a golf course. Loose sands with the presence of fines, change to compacted silty sands at 12 ft. #suelosygeotecnia

Lower Thames Crossing will use the latest #tunnelling tech to overcome difficult conditions Tunnelling for the £9bn #LowerThamesCrossing (LTC) will use the latest tunnelling technologies to overcome site, geological, pressure and other constraints, the project’s tunnels technical director Keith Bowers told NCE. At the end of last year, National Highways awarded the £1.34bn Tunnels and Approaches contract for the LTC scheme to a joint venture of Bouygues Travaux Publics and Murphy (#BMJV). BMJV’s Tunnels and Approaches contract for LTC will see it design and construct the 4.2km twin road tunnels – the longest road tunnels in the UK. The tunnels will be over 16m wide, allowing for three lanes of traffic in each direction. It will aim to provide more capacity for large vehicles like HGVs, removing congestion from the #Dartford Crossing. Describing the site setup, Bowers said: “One of the important things here is all of our work has to be done from the north side of the #river. It’s fundamentally where we have the space, the power and the #opportunities to place the spoil that arises and so on. “While we have various options in how we do it, they all have to be based around servicing everything from the north side.” The tunnel will be twin-bored, but the development consent order (DCO) application leaves open two methods of doing this. Either two tunnel boring machines (TBMs) will drive simultaneously or one #TBM will be used to drive from the north side and be pulled back through before setting off on a second drive for the other tunnel. A number of #geotechnical challenges have arisen from the location of the tunnel too, as it will travel beneath the Thames Estuary. The northern tunnel mouth will be east of Tilbury while the southern mouth will be east of Gravesend. BMJV and the LTC team are assessing the challenges presented by these landscapes. Looking specifically at the geology on the route, Bowers describes it as “quite an interesting challenge”.

Embankment Construction Specifications for Roads| Highways| Subgrades| Geotechnical Engineering| Soil This Lecture 44 in series of my YouTube Channel “Geotechnical Engineering Consultancy Tips” is the first one about Roads after covering a few on Buildings, Over Head Tanks, Bridges, Micro-wave Towers, Transmission Line Towers, etc. and even Airfield Pavements including a few others on varied topics such as Liquefaction, Pile Load Tests & a few case studies. It describes about the Embankment Construction Specifications for Roads, Highways, Subgrades, Earthen Shoulders and miscellaneous Backfills as per Section 305 of MoRTH Specifications for Road and Bridge Works covering the Physical requirements and Density requirements of the embankment and subgrade materials of different heights excluding that of cinder and flyash material which is usually not allowed in to be used as the constituent material for building embankments/subgrades to carry the Road Loads #geotechnicalengineeringconsultancytips #anuragkapoor #embankmentconstruction #MoRTH #subgradespecification#embankmentconstructioninroads #highways #subgrades #transportation #embankments #civilengineering #pavements #geotechnical #geotechnicalengineer #soil #geotech #materialengineering https://lnkd.in/dr-mhZDQ
