Creating Field Program for Field Investigation
This service includes all in-situ techniques and processes that evaluate the physical, strength, deformability, and hydromechanical characteristics of geomaterials (rocks, various soil types) in geotechnical sites.
We analyze the soil from available soil maps before creating an appropriate strategy for a field study. We recommend the appropriate test for the specific bore hole according to the planned construction to determine the real state of things at the field.
A successful investigation depends on selecting the appropriate methods and correctly interpreting the results.
Creating Lab Test Protocol for Lab Investigation
Laboratory testing is a vital part of both geotechnical engineering research and practice. A planned and well-executed laboratory testing program provides the soil and/or rock characteristics needed to conduct geotechnical analysis and develop geotechnical models.
We assess the proposed geo constructions and conduct a field investigation before setting up laboratory tests to identify the index characteristics, strength, deformation, and permeability features that will allow construction to proceed without risk.
Uplift Calculation
Uplift pressure equals the pore water pressure that acts at the bottom of an impermeable structure. The critical situation develops when the pore water pressure is higher than the overburden pressure.
The uplift pressure is an important calculation because it affects stability. Our initial responsibility in providing this service is to examine the bottom level and ground water level of the proposed structure.
After doing the relevant calculations, we determine the uplift and provide the customer with the most efficient and cost-effective solution.
Soil Investigation Data Analysis
The first and most important task to do for any sort of construction is data analysis from a soil investigation. The behavior and engineering properties of the subsurface strata must be studied before designing, to make more efficient and effective design.
Following examination of field and lab data, we present the most integrated options.
Settlement Calculation for Roads
Settlement refers to the downward movement of soil.
Settlement can occur due to various factors, including the self-weight of the structure, applied loads, changes in moisture content, consolidation of compressible soils, and other geotechnical phenomena. Settlement is an important consideration in the design and construction of structures. Excessive or uneven settlement can lead to structural damage, instability, and functional issues. We assess the potential for settlement during the design phase and take measures to mitigate its effects.
While evaluating the chance and extent of settlement, the existing and proposed site conditions should be meticulously analyzed with respect to underlaying soil layers. This can ensure a safe environment and prevent unnecessary costs down the line.
Stability Calculation
In both geotechnical engineering and civil engineering, the idea of “stability” is one of the most essential concepts.
The concepts of “stability” includes three of the most significant engineering variables: force, moment, and equilibrium.
We perform calculations to determine if compacted embankments, excavation slopes, and natural slopes can be considered safe. This check involves determining and comparing the shear stress with soil’s shear strength created along the slip surface. This working approach will save time and the customer will get viable and affordable solutions.
Erosion Protection Design
Erosion protection refers to measures and techniques implemented to prevent or minimize the erosion of soil, sediment, or land surfaces. Erosion occurs when the surface of the Earth is worn away by natural processes such as wind, water, or ice. It can have detrimental effects on the environment, ecosystems, and human infrastructure. Erosion can have significant environmental and socioeconomic impacts. It can lead to the loss of fertile soil, degradation of ecosystems, reduced water quality, and increased sedimentation in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Erosion can also damage infrastructure, such as roads, buildings, and agricultural fields.
Light Filling Design
Light material is any substance or material that is used to fill or insulate objects while minimizing weight. Some examples of light filling materials include Foam glass, Hollow microspheres, Aerogel, Cellulose insulation. The choice of material depends on the specific requirements, such as insulation properties, weight restrictions, and the intended use of the filled object.
Light filling material has low density, excellent insulation properties, and can be easily molded or shaped to fit different applications. Light fill is often used to smooth out settlements in transitions between reinforced and unreinforced areas or road sections.
