Limit analysis has emerged as a fundamental approach in geotechnical engineering, providing robust methodologies to assess the stability and ultimate load-carrying capacity of soil–structure systems.

Spudcan foundations are a critical component in the design and installation of offshore jack-up rigs, providing stability by distributing loads across complex seabed layers. Recent advances in the ...

Adel Hanna: “When buildings collapse or lean, the problem usually isn’t the concrete. The problem is the ground.” Geotechnical engineers focus on the design and construction of foundations — among ...

His current work is conducted in avenues of basic research relevant to granular material behavior as well as applicable research related to pile design and construction. The basic research ...

Undergraduate students in the Civil Engineering track can pursue several courses to emphasize in geotechnical engineering. Geotechnical specialization courses include: CVEN 3718 Introduction to ...

Geotechnical and structural designers for the Jeddah Tower had to work through more than two dozen iterations before they aligned the design of the foundations with the design of the 1-kilometer-plus ...

Seminar abstract: The Millennium Tower is a 58-story reinforced concrete building that was constructed in San Francisco, California between 2005 and 2009. The tower is founded on an embedded, ...

Our graduate students come from diverse backgrounds; a BS or MS in Civil Engineering with emphasis in Geotechnical Engineering and Geomechanics is not necessary to apply. Before taking graduate ...
