Basic table Toggle navigation International Journal of Geoengineering Case Histories Home About Announcements Submit Paper Previous Issues Search Geographic Database Login A journal of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering Home The International Journal of Geoengineering Case Histories is an official journal of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, the premier scientific organization for geotechnical engineering worldwide. The Case Histories Journal covers the broad area of practice in geotechnical engineering (soils and rocks), including geotechnical earthquake engineering, environmental geotechnics and engineering geology, and energy geo-construction. The Case Histories Journal is a peer-review, diamond-level open access journal on the geotechnical engineering practice with a focus on careful documentation of case histories with and emphasis on observations and data collected during and after project construction . Papers are reviewed by a distinguished international Editorial Board and a selected number of reviewers. All paper published in the journal are accompanied by electronic data for better documentation of each case history. Latest Published Case History Papers Monitoring and Process Control of Deep Vertical Vibratory Compaction Using Resonance Amplification Massarsch, K. Compaction CPTU horizontal stress pre-stressing resonance sand vibration vibrator shear wave speed Compaction trials using deep vertical vibratory compaction in a hydraulic fill are reported. The compaction system consisted of a vibrator with variable frequency and a flexible, double Y-shaped probe. Openings in the probe reduced the dynamic weight and enhanced the probe-ground interaction. The co...

MSE wall pullout load crash test barrier TL5 numerical simulation measured behavior full-scale test Some 45 years ago the total number of annual deaths on US roadways was slightly over 50,000. In 2020, this number has been reduced to less than 39,000 even while the number of kilometers traveled has almost doubled. One of the major contributing factors to this life-saving improvement is the develop...

The in situ clayey Marine Deposits and Alluvium were subject to ongoing consolidation and creep settlements ...

E., Gagnon, A. case history tailings undrained strength effective stress Recent failures of mine tailings structures in Brazil have highlighted the importance of the undrained behavior of loose tailings. Loose, saturated tailings can experience significant and rapid strength loss if triggered to behave undrained under shear, and this process has been described as either ... Read More Post-Liquefaction Free-Field Ground Settlement Case Histories Olaya, F. R., Bray, J. D. case histories CPT free-field site liquefaction settlement Liquefaction-induced ground settlement is a complex process resulting from the combined effects of particle sedimentation and soil reconsolidation due to post-shaking dissipation of excess pore-water pressure. Current empirical models are based on a limited number of field case histories. Consequent...

T. Offshore wind scour scour protection probability of failure reliability Offshore wind foundations have seen a remarkable growth in over the last three decades. Up to date, this growth has been mainly registered in North Sea locations, where water depths do not exceed 30 m and monopile diameters typically range between 4 to 9 m. In these cases, scour phenomena can be a m... Read More Bridge Abutment Remediation – A Case Study Sundaram, M., Sugawara, J., Sivakumar, S. Transport and Main Roads rainfall failures remediation temporary works permanent works Record-breaking rainfall events in parts of eastern Australia—particularly, most recently, in Queensland—resulted in severe flooding and property damage. Transport and Main Roads assets were not spared from destruction caused by these events. The severe rainfall and flooding resulted in ...

The coastal disasters represent collapses behind the retaining walls under high wave conditions. The results of the field investigations demonstrate that the exte...
