Geotechnical data are increasingly utilized to aid investigations of coastal erosion and the development morphological models; however, measurement techniques still challenged by environmental conditions accessibility in areas, particularly, nearshore conditions. These challenges exacerbated for Arctic environments. This article reviews existing emerging collection methods context geotechnical ...

The geotechnical engineering properties of soil exhibit varied and uncertain behaviour due to the complex and imprecise physical processes associated with the formation of these materials (Jaksa, 1995). This is in contrast to most other civil engineering materials, such as steel, concrete and timber, which exhibit far greater homogeneity and isotropy. In order to cope with the complexity of geo...

Engineering structures are of great importance in the comfort and safe travel people who prefer highway existing transportation networks. Highway tunnels one most important engineering that easily overcome problems. This study investigates geological geotechnical Kırık tunnel on Erzurum-Rize route, makes rock mass classification required for excavation according to New Austrian Tunneling Method...

ABSTRACT Sensitive glaciomarine clays, often referred to as ‘quick clay’, commonly occur in many countries at high, northerly latitudes, causing frequent and occasionally devastating landslides. The salt content of quick clay is strongly correlated both its shear strength electrical resistivity. Hence, it can be mapped using electromagnetic methods more efficiently than traditional intrusive me...

The overall goal is to identify and understand the physical processes that shape and change coastal environments. Emphasis is on the application of remotely sensed signals that can be compared with in situ observations and assimilated within predictive models. In tidal flat environments, the major goals are to detect geotechnical properties (e.g., sediment strength), morphologic features (e.g.,...
