Many of Downtown Washington DC’s metro stations were designed by architect Harry Weese who used exposed concrete and repetitive designs to create huge cathedral-like underground spaces. Washington metro cathedral-like underground …

In cities, where demand for space and the price of land are high basements are a common method of maximising development space. Constructing basements is more complicated than adding above-ground …

Following on from our last blog, this time we look at how large scale triaxial tests are critical in predicting the performance of granular materials mechanically-stabilised with geogrid. Ground Coffee …

Triaxial tests are an excellent way of measuring the mechanical properties of soil, rock and granular materials, with results used to solve a wide range of geotechnical engineering problems. Triaxial …

Accessing and setting up site quickly, economically and safely is a key stage for many construction projects, particularly those in remote areas, with little existing infrastructure. Many construction projects rely …

Temporary reinforced soil walls and slopes can offer low-cost and robust alternatives to reinforced concrete for load-bearing bridge abutments and can maximise space on site. Practicality and economy take priority …

A full-scale field trial on the Canadian Prairies has verified our new T-value design method for working platforms stabilised with geogrid. As discussed, our T-value design method enables a more …

The T-value design method enables a more accurate assessment of the positive effect of stabilising geogrids on the bearing capacity of a granular working platform. Ground Coffee Episode 6 - …
