Modern Geotechnical Practices
Abstract Over the years, the practice of geotechnical engineering has evolved. Design methods, construction practises, equipment and materials have improved. New priorities have emerged. It is now important to ensure the health and safety of site personnel and to minimise environmental impact. This paper presents examples of modern geotechnical practice from across the world. It presents geotechnical design using practical empirical methods and more advanced numerical modelling techniques. It presents the use of more powerful, automated equipment to treat more difficult soils to greater depths. It also shows the use of data acquisition techniques to monitor construction parameters and examples of construction methods that are safer and more environment-friendly.
