Developments and constructions on soft ground pose great challenges in the field of geotechnical engineering. Although is no longer considered a new concern developments constructions; there are many issues that may crop up repeatedly if proper planning, analysis, design, construction control supervision not implemented. This paper presents common faced aims to provide some insights good design...

Knowledge of the stratigraphic architecture and geotechnical properties surficial soil sediments is essential for risk assessment. In Saguenay study area, Quaternary deposits consist a basal till layer heterogeneous post-glacial deposits. Considering setting type heterogeneity, multistep stochastic methodology developed 3D geological modelling quantification associated uncertainties. This adopt...

One of the main concerns of an underground coal mining engineer is the safety and stability of the mine. One way that the safety and stability can be ensured is to know and understand the coal mine geology and how it reacts to the mining process. One technique that has shown a lot of success in the coal mining industry for geologic technical evaluation purposes is the coal mine roof rating (CMR...

In recent years, determining bearing capacity of piles from in-situ testing data as a complement to static and dynamic analysis has been used by geotechnical engineers. In this paper, different approaches for estimating bearing capacity of piles from SPT data are studied and compared. A new method based on N value from SPT is presented. Data averaging, failure zone and plunging failure of pil...
