Webinar: Soil Improvement Solutions to Increase Slope Stability under Seismic Conditions – Design and Techniques
Free Registration HERE Presented by Jason Redgers, Dr Serhat Baycan & Dr Philipp Schober from BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH The stability of slopes, specially when consisting of soft cohesive soils or liquefiable granular material, can be compromised during seismic event and lead to major failures. Lateral spreading or sliding failure can be induced by reduced shear strength and horizontal acceleration during a seismic event. Soil improvement techniques can be used to increase the shear strength and mitigate…

20th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering 2022
The theme of ICSMGE 2022 is “A Geotechnical Discovery Down Under – Geotechnical Diversity Awaits You”. Discover Australia and discover the innovation that lies where practical problems meet leading theoretical developments. ICSMGE 2022 will focus on the application of theory and the discovery that comes when world-class minds are focussed on the geotechnical problems facing our world. Our Conference program and technical sessions reflect this emphasis on applications, and are designed to trigger collaboration, innovation and discovery from a diverse…
