Design reviewing is an important aspect of engineering design. Designs certified by a professional engineer require some form of external check. This external check can range from a quick intuitive assessment of a proposed solution to a reassessment

This paper presents a comparison of four assumptions or approaches for using a liquefied shear strength ratio for sandy soils in cases where there has been a large increase in effective vertical stress, e.g., structure raising or remedial measure, th

In a world facing significant disruption, geotechnical engineers must grapple with the existential uncertainties of tomorrow. Geotechnical engineers have to date rightly focused on expanding techni...

Soil acidity has received less attention than other biophysical stresses such as drought and low N, despite accounting for a considerable reduction in maize (Zea mays L.) productivity in many parts of southern Africa. The line × tester mating design

Internal erosion from internally unstable soils can negatively affect long-term strength of embankment dams. Investigations of the packing behaviour of a gap-graded internally unstable soil identified two distinct microstructures: (a) a microstructur

Use of a liquefied strength ratio to estimate strengths for postliquefaction slope stability analyses assumes that the liquefied shear strength of sandy soil can be normalized by the consol...

Site investigations to classify the underlying soil for geotechnical purposes often rely on in-situ penetrometer tests. Two common tests used in southern Africa are the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Dynamic Probe Super Heavy (DPSH) test. Althou
