This paper discusses the remedial actions taken to address the ongoing settlement issues in the raft foundation of the East Wing of the SABIC Building in Al-Jubail, Saudi Arabia. The expansion joint between the East…
As part of Saudi Arabia’s 2030 vision, the mining sector is being developed to become the third pillar of the kingdom’s industrial growth. In line with this development, new mining laws and executive regulations have…
Two Innovative Solutions Cases implemented by Geoharbour Construction Group in Indonesia are presented in this paper. Case 1# is Jawa 7 Power Plant Project which is located in Baten Province of Indonesia, around 80 km…
Drilled shafts socketed into rock have been widely used as a foundation for bridges to resist both vertical and lateral loads. Although numerous research efforts on rock socketed drilled shafts under vertical loads have been…
The innovative technology of Floating Artificial Islands is being used recently in different fields as a solution to the climate change effect on the coastal environment, this varies from floating renewable energy farms -such as…
Designing dams in regions with complex geological and geotechnical conditions demands a meticulous approach to ensure safety and stability. This paper presents case studies from the Sultanate of Oman, highlighting the diverse challenges encountered and…
This presentation explores few of key geotechnical challenges in Saudi Arabia, focusing on rock strength, escarpment stability, ground improvement verification and seismic parameters. Due to unique geological conditions, potential for innovative approaches is presented for…
This technical share presents our comprehensive approach to asset monitoring and management in the face of escalating geohazard risks, aging infrastructure, climate awareness, and the growing need for resilient infrastructure in high-rise buildings, energy infrastructure,…
Data-driven site characterization is one of the cornerstones of geotechnical engineering design and construction. Current practice of interpreting site investigation data to establish stratification models is inadequate in handling the complexities and uncertainties. As a…
Unstable soils, characterized by attributes such as looseness, erodibility, and collapsibility, present considerable engineering challenges due to their low bearing capacity and high compressibility. Such problematic soils are prevalent worldwide and impede the progress of…
Micropiles, initially conceived for underpinning and strengthening existing structures, have evolved into foundational elements for the construction of new superstructures and substructures. Although micropiles possess a lower load-bearing capacity relative to conventional piles, thereby elevating…
This overview explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on geotechnical solutions. Traditionally, geotechnical engineering relied on many empirical methods for assessing soil behavior and foundation design. However, with the rapid development and implementation…
The rapid advancement of emerging technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), is driving transformative shifts across numerous scientific and engineering disciplines. With that in mind, a new age of…
Geotechnical projects generally consume large quantities of resources and energy and release considerable amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere, and therefore, have a significant impact on the environment. To minimize this effect, sustainable solutions and…
In the realm of construction, the influence of ground conditions on structural design is paramount, highlighting the importance of accurate soil characterization. Traditional approaches, predominantly laboratory and in-situ testing, are often marred by significant uncertainties.…
The installation of monopiles for offshore wind turbines via vibratory methods presents an alternative to conventional impact-hammering, offering reduced noise emissions. However, understanding the influence of vibratory installation on e.g. lateral pile response remains largely…
