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!

🔍 When it comes to predicting shear strength in granular materials, precision is paramount. Our latest study introduces a novel criterion that aligns impressively with the ideal predictive accuracy, as shown in our recent validation tests. While some models overestimate (Indraratna 1993, 1994 and 1998), others like Barton-Kjaersli 1981, may underestimate the sheer strength. Yet, our approach promises a much closer match to the experimental data a game changer in geotechnical engineering! #Engineering #Innovation #ShearStrength #GranularMaterials #geotechnicalengineering

"Dr. [Author Name]'s seminal work, 'Advancements in Rock Mass Classification,' stands as a cornerstone in geotechnical research. This comprehensive exploration meticulously dissects the methodologies integral to rock mass classification, shedding light on critical parameters shaping our understanding of subsurface conditions. As we traverse the intricate terrain of geotechnical engineering, this research serves as a beacon, guiding professionals towards nuanced decision-making in projects where stability and safety hinge on a profound comprehension of rock masses. #GeotechnicalEngineering #ResearchExcellence #RockMassClassification"

Yesterday saw the third instalment of Ternan Energy's Ask Ternan Q&A webinar discussing Geotechnical Engineering issues facing the Offshore Wind sector 🌊💨 In case you missed it you can watch it using the link below; but I can say that it was a lot more enjoyable (for everyone) than this screenshot suggests! 😂 🚨 Spoiler Alert! A group of Geotechnical Engineers think that the main limiting factor to maximum monopile diameter will be the installation and not the design, fabrication or transportation. Imagine that! Also turns out they don't like rocks. At all. Go figure. #askternan #offshorewind #smileandwaveboys

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. Thanks to Dr Babak Hamidi and #AustralianGeomechanics for an enlightening and informative session! #GroundImprovement #DynamicCompaction #EngineeringExcellence Hamidi, Babak, Hamid Nikraz, and Serge Varaksin. "Dynamic compaction vibration monitoring in a saturated site." In Proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Geotechnical Engineering, pp. 267-272.
