Earthquake geotechnical engineering practice

Earthquake geotechnical engineering is a highly specialised field. As such the investigations for this need to be developed and carried out by an appropriately qualified and experienced geotechnical engineer or engineering geologist (referred to herein as the geotechnical professional).

Constructing Cavities - Building Performance

Table 23 (’Properties of roof underlays and building wraps‘). Install the wall underlay directly over the framing. Install the cavity battens directly over the wall underlay as described in Cavity battens on page 9. No additional wall underlay is needed between the wall cladding and the cavity battens except in the following situations.

Seismic Design of Earth Retaining Structures

Seismic Design of Earth Retaining Structures By Atop Lego, M.Tech (Struct.) SSW (E/Z) AP, PWD; Itanagar Introduction The problem of retaining soil is one the oldest in the geotechnical engineering; some of the earliest and most fundamental principles of soil mechanics were developed to allow rational design of retaining walls.
