Geotechnical Engineering
geotechnical engineering consultancy in west bengal
Geotechnical engineering, also known as geotechnics, is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials. It uses the principles of soil mechanics and rock mechanics to solve its engineering problems. It also relies on knowledge of geology, hydrology, geophysics, and other related sciences.
Geotechnical engineering has applications in almost every case of civil engineering projects including Military Engineering, Mining Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Coastal Engineering and Offshore Construction. The fields of geotechnical engineering and engineering geology have overlapping knowledge areas. However, while geotechnical engineering is a specialty of civil engineering, engineering geology is a specialty of geology.
Geotechnical investigation includes both soil and rock mechanics. It is basically the process to find out bearing capacity of the soil. For example if we want to construct any structure that maybe a multi stored building, factory shade, microwave tower or any type of other projects everywhere and in every case the structure finally have to transfer the whole load to the ground. Now, if there is not a proper assessment of the strength of the ground then it is not possible to decide the size, shape and depth of the foundation.
We often found that without a proper assessment of the soil; below any propose engineering structure which may prove detrimental for the safety of even a single story building. It is also observed that a single story building also may tilt or some time due to differential settlement crack used to develop along the vertical direction of the wall of the structure or beam column joint.
Now in the normal procedure of Soil Investigation or Rock investigation we should passes through different procedure as mention below:
Collection of disturb and disturb soil sample From depending on the height and weight of the proposed structure from the site
Then those sample should be tested in a soil laboratory to find out the different parameters
Finally to assess the safe bearing capacity of the soil and also provide few expert comment and decision regarding the ground improvement or how the propose structure can be founded on the soil with full safety.
Understanding the compatibility of soil with the structure is the most important requirement for designing a safe and economical structure. Our geotechnical engineering services encompass this crucial aspect to ensure stability and safety.
We have been providing soil investigation and civil and geotechnical engineering services throughout India for the last 23 years. Our well-equipped soil testing laboratory and team of qualified civil engineers, specialized in areas like soil mechanics, foundation engineering, structural engineering, and transportation engineering, ensure high-quality results.
As a leading geotechnical engineering consultancy in West Bengal, we are also on a mission to build the confidence of engineers, especially young engineers, by sharing our experience in blogs.
