Unexpected Delay
The biggest project risk in Washington State's new State Route 99 tunnel was at the south end, where the tunnel begins. If the tunnel boring machine (TBM) could tunnel through that initial zone problem-free,...
What's Hiding Between the Boreholes?
Often, geotechnical explorations consist of a few, strategically placed boreholes and considerable interpolation and extrapolation by the geotechnical engineer. The information between boreholes in most...
Borehole Geophysics: Tools to Characterize Rock Properties
Effective design and construction in rock requires characterization of the engineering properties of the rock mass, as well as any associated geological features such as joints, faults, and bedding planes....
