Test Wall Promises Big Savings (Available in Geo-Environmental Special Issue Only)
A new kind of retaining wall is being tested in Texas at a National Geotechnical Experiment site. The wall is a variation of soil-mixing that uses fewer columns, which saves time, materials...
Inspecting the Unknown (Available in Geo-Environmental Special Issue Only)
Unknown foundations have plagued civil engineers for years. In the case of underwater pilings, much time and money is spent inspecting for cracks, breaks or deterioration. Even then, visibility...
The Deep (Available in Geo-Environmental Special Issue only)
Despite a mere 1,500 ft separation, Baltimore's Oriole Park at Camden Yards and Ravens Stadium required vastly different deep foundation solutions. While Oriole Park is founded...
Small Firms, Big Advantages
Engineering companies with 50 or fewer employees make up the bulk of the profession, yet they rarely receive the attention that larger, better-known firms do. Owners say that's...
The New Environment for Consolidation
Environmental consulting firms are planning more acquisitions�and to acquire more companies each time they do�in 1998 than in previous years. This finding, from an exclusive survey by...
Sky High
The increasing demand for personal communication services (PCS), such as digital cell phones and pagers, as well as digital television (DTV), has created new challenges for creating and...
I.T.S. On the Way
With fewer roads being built, surface transportation engineers must develop ways to increase the efficiency of existing roadways by using intelligent transportation systems (ITS), but...
How to Succeed in Business...
As civil engineering continues to evolve as a profession, consulting engineers must continually re-invent their businesses and their practices. In this article, consulting engineers talk...
