- Geotechnical investigation - Geotechnical investigations are performed by geotechnical engineers or engineering geologists to obtain information on the physical properties of soil and rock around a site to design earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions. A geotechnical investigation will include surface exploration and ...
- Geotechnical engineering - Geotechnical engineering is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials. Geotechnical engineering includes investigating existing subsurface conditions and materials; assessing risks posed by site conditions; designing earthworks and structure foundations; and monitoring site conditions, earthwork and foundation construction.
- Norwegian Geotechnical Institute - Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) is a private foundation based in Norway doing research and consulting in the geosciences, including soil, rock and snow.
- Vacuum consolidation - Vacuum consolidation (or vacuum preloading) is a soft soil improvement method that has been successfully used by geotechnical engineers and specialist sof ground improvement companies in countries such as China, Korea, Thailand and France for soil improvement or land reclamation (Chu et al, 2005). It does not necessarily require surcharge fill and vacuum loads of 80kPa or greater can, typically, be maintained for as long as ...
- Albert Atterberg - Albert Mauritz Atterberg (March 19 1846–April 4 1916) was a Swedish chemist and agricultural scientist who created the Atterberg limits that are commonly referred to by geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists today.
