3D Finite Element Analysis of a Contiguous Pile Wall
This article provides a brief summary of a 3D finite element analysis carried out using RS3 to model a contiguous pile retaining wall at the site of a proposed commercial development in the UK.
Effect of subdivision of a clay layer on the results of primary consolidation settlement in Settle3
Traditionally, the settlement of a clay layer may be estimated based on results of one-dimensional consolidation tests carried out on samples obtained from the ground. The article depicts how Settle3 results will be more accurate and more conservative than the traditional calculation practice for primary settlement due to subdivision of the clay layer.
Technical Projects of Rocscience Co-ops - Summer 2021
I chatted with three of our most recent interns who worked on projects that ranged from developing a new report generator that works across Rocscience products to a machine-learning tool that reduces inconclusive data results. Despite the challenges of having to learn new software, tools, and processes, these students were able to develop new features and applications that will improve Rocscience products across user experience, accessibility, functionality.
Geotechnical Engineering in the Face of the Pandemic: Enhancing Your Productivity with Technology
COVID-19 has radically changed the entire world; it enormously disrupted economies and lives. Geotechnical engineering was not spared. The pandemic forced us to pivot to technologies, such as video conferencing to keep our businesses alive. These are now ubiquitous in our daily professional lives. However, technological advancements (in geotechnical software) can also help us thrive in the current environment and beyond.
UnWedge: Vertical Shaft Handling, Bolt Supports and More
One of the many concerns for practitioners excavating tunnels in rock masses is the possibility of wedge instabilities created by intersecting discontinuities. For addressing issues like these Rocscience has the software UnWedge, a 3D modelling program which provide users with the tools to perform comprehensive wedge stability analyses of their tunnels and shafts.
