Buildings

Geotechnical aspects play a significant role in building construction, ensuring the structural integrity and stability of the constructed facilities. Geotechnical engineers assess the site's soil and rock properties, conduct geotechnical investigations, and provide recommendations for foundation design and assets monitoring. By using DAARWIN software and its parametric analysis tools, building projects can be tailored to specific site conditions, determining the most optimal design and construction processes, as well as surveying the structural health of the buildings.

SECTORS

DEEP FOUNDATIONS

Deep foundations are structural elements used to transfer loads from buildings to deeper, more stable layers of soil or rock. In geotechnical engineering, deep foundations play a crucial role in constructing tall buildings or structures on weak or unstable soils. Techniques such as pile foundations and drilled shafts are employed to provide support and stability, ensuring the safety and durability of the buildings in various soil conditions.

SEMI DEEP FOUNDATIONS
Semi-deep foundations are structural elements that bridge the gap between shallow and deep foundations. They are used in geotechnical engineering for buildings constructed on moderately weak or variable soil conditions. Semi-deep foundations, such as mat foundations or spread footings, distribute loads over a larger area to increase stability and reduce settlement. These foundations provide a cost-effective and efficient solution for building projects that do not require the use of deep foundation systems.

STRUCTUTAL HEALTH
Structural health refers to the condition and performance of a building or structure over time. In geotechnical engineering, monitoring and assessing the structural health of buildings is crucial to ensure their safety and durability. Geotechnical professionals use techniques such as instrumentation, remote sensing, and data analysis to detect potential issues such as settlement, soil movement, or foundation instability. By monitoring structural health, necessary maintenance and repairs can be performed to maintain the integrity of buildings and prevent catastrophic failures.
