A crazy way to maintain reservoir slope... A reservoir slope refers to the incline or gradient of the land surrounding a reservoir, which is an artificial or natural lake used for water storage. This slope is critical for maintaining the structural integrity of the reservoir, preventing erosion, and ensuring proper drainage. Steeper slopes can lead to increased erosion and potential landslides, while gentle slopes may provide more stability. The design and maintenance of reservoir slopes involve careful engineering to balance these factors, often incorporating vegetation and other erosion control measures to protect the reservoir and its surroundings. Proper slope management is essential for the safety and longevity of the reservoir. #reservoir #engineering #engineer #civilengineering #construction #civilconstruction #engenharia #engenhariacivil

As geotechnical engineers, understanding pore water pressure is very important for analyzing soil behavior under various conditions. Pore water pressure is the pressure exerted by water trapped within the pores of a soil or rock. This pressure plays a key role in determining soil strength, stability, and compressibility. When pore water pressure increases—such as during heavy rainfall or excavation—effective stress decreases, weakening the soil’s strength. This can lead to retaining wall failures, landslides, or foundation bearing capacity failures. Monitoring and managing pore water pressure through proper drainage systems or soil treatment is essential for ensuring stability in construction and geotechnical projects. #GeotechnicalEngineering #SoilMechanics #CivilEngineering #Construction #slopestability

Hello Connections!!! ULTIMATE BEARING CAPACITY!! It is the least pressure which would cause shear failure if the supporting soil immediately below and adjacent to a foundation. The ultimate bearing capacity is defined as the maximum gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which the soil does not fail in shear. When the term bearing capacity is used, it may be understood to be the UBC. The ultimate bearing capacity refers to the maximum load that a foundation or soil can support before it fails or experiences excessive settlement. It is an important consideration in geotechnical engineering and is determined through various methods of soil testing and analysis. The ultimate bearing capacity of a soil depends on several factors, including the soil type, moisture content, density. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #snsdesignthinking

❌ Scouring of river bank in a case of 56inch gas pipeline crossing ✔ Important factors to be considered in design of pipeline river crossing: ◾ Determining the width of riverbed exposed to flooding in geotechnical & hydrology studies. ◾ Determining the scour depth of riverbed in geotechnical & hydrology studies. ◾ Laying pipe under the scour depth across the riverbed exposed to flooding. ◾ Protecting the pipe under the river with continuous concrete weight (CCW) to prevent uplift of buried pipeline. ◾ Stabilization of river bank using gabion or other methods. ◾ Drawing of pipeline river crossing shall be designed considering above factors. ◾ In construction phase pipe shall be laid under the river considering scour depth & river bed exactly based on detail design. ✏Omid Azemati #pipeline #civil #river #engineering #construction #design #geotechnical #hydrology #environmental

"Permeation grouting enhances soil stability and strength by injecting grout to fill voids, making it ideal for foundation support and groundwater control." Ground penetration with permeation grouting involves injecting grout into soil or rock to improve its strength and stability. This technique is used to fill voids and fractures, creating a more cohesive mass that can better support structures. The grout, often a cementitious or chemical mixture, is pumped into the ground under pressure, permeating the soil or rock without causing significant displacement. This method is particularly useful in stabilizing foundations, preventing settlement, and controlling groundwater flow. By solidifying the ground, permeation grouting enhances load-bearing capacity and reduces the risk of subsidence. #groundimprovement #geotechnical #engineering #construction #civilconstruction #engenharia #engenhariacivil

Consolidation is a crucial process in geotechnical engineering that involves the gradual reduction in the volume of a saturated soil due to the expulsion of water from its pores. This process occurs when the soil is subjected to a load, leading to an increase in effective stress and a decrease in the void ratio. We can see here the saturated sub grade is into the gap between the shear wall and the ground. The subgrade will then be distributed evenly in layers of 200mm. Water will be poured again to increase saturation and then stress will be applied using a pneumatic load frame to reduce the voids. And hence the bearing capacity of soil is increased. Two layers of insulation are applied onto the shear wall to prevent water seepage and hence increase the life of the wall. #civilengineering #geotechnicalengineering
