The calculation of slope stability is an essential operation for a proper rock block consolidation plan. To tackle modern geotechnical challenges, the RockPlane NX software stands out as the definitive solution to calculate the stability of these elements in both static and seismic conditions Geometric criteria in rock block consolidation RockPlane NX allows for rigorous…
The geology and geotechnical engineering sector is undergoing a rapid digital transformation. Today, to optimize time and precision on site, we present GMS NX, the next generation of the geomechanical survey by GeoStru. This tool completely reimagines the professional’s workflow: your geomechanical survey goes directly from measurement with the compass on the rock face to…
GeoStru’s dynamic probing goes web. Dynamic NX brings the processing of dynamic penetration tests and SPT to your browser, with integrated artificial intelligence: from the penetrometer blow to the geotechnical report, with nothing to install and no hardware keys. What Dynamic NX is Dynamic NX is the web software of the GeoStru NX suite for…
In modern geotechnical practice, analyzing soil susceptibility under seismic conditions requires increasingly rapid, precise, and rigorous tools. GeoStru LiquiTer NX represents the vanguard in this sector: an advanced web software designed to automate liquefaction analysis with AI starting from in-situ tests such as SPT, CPT, CPTU, CPTE, and Vs. In this article, we explore the…
When carrying out the stability analysis of a slope using the well-established software Geostru Slope Stability analysis – Slope, the user has the option of placing a retention structures of his choice : Walls, Piles, Ground Anchor and Reinforced soil. Selecting the latter will open the module Reinforced Earth – MRE. We speak of a…
Application of static penetrometric tests in stratigraphic profile reconstruction Diego Lo Presti,* Claudia Meisina,** Nunziante Squeglia* Cone penetration tests are a well-established in situ test methods for site characterization. Their widespread use for subsurface explorations is due to their reliability, speed, economy and to the fact that they supply continuous records with depths of soil…
Indagini geognostiche, prove di laboratorio e risultati della relazione geologica: tutto quello che occorre sapere grazie alla utile guida geotecnica dei geologi del Lazio Per la progettazione accurata di un’opera, è essenziale condurre un approfondito studio del sottosuolo al fine di ottimizzare le risorse economiche in relazione alle prestazioni richieste. Il Collegio dei Geologi della…
Preliminary sizing of naturalistic engineering works is one of the most important operations to be carried out before the detailed design of the works, certainly preceding technical checks and subsequent final sizing. Having quick and efficient tools at your disposal to perform initial checks and assess whether the chosen techniques can solve the issues has…
The permeability test in the oedometer cell is aimed at determining the coefficient of permeability (K) through direct measurement under variable hydraulic loading during the oedometric test. This type of test can be performed on soil samples primarily composed of silts and clays, whose permeability is greater than 10^-6 to 10^-7 m/s. Advanced configuration of…
Liquefaction and earthquake Liquefaction is an extraordinarly complex and potentially destructive phenomenon that can occur during a seismic event of significant intensity. The accelerations generated by a seismic event result in an increase in the neutral pressure of the interstitial water contained in saturated sandy soil. Figure 1 – Comparison between stable soil on the…
