Conditions around dams change with urbanization, farming, and vegetation growth requiring periodic inspections and testing to assess aging infrastructure and ensure structural integrity.
Fallingwater Residence
Built in 1937, the Fallingwater Residence stands to this day as one of the greatest architectural achievements of Frank Lloyd Wright. Over time, the structure has endured a number of structural issues, which included cracking and deflection at the cantilever terraces. To ensure its historic value, contractors used post-tensioning systems to rehab a portion of the deteriorating elements. Post-tensioning allowed for hidden repairs in the floor cavity between the girders, making rehabilitation virtually invisible from many viewpoints. With repairs completed in 2002, the post-tensioned systems used proved to be a durable solution for the Fallingwater residence.

Rehab of an existing mse(1)
This document summarizes the rehabilitation of a failing mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall using permanent soil nails. An investigation found the wall was failing due to improper drainage, unsuitable backfill compaction, and other factors. Ninety-three permanent soil nails were installed through the existing precast concrete panels to depths of up to 40 feet using a hydraulic rotary percussion drill. Verification testing of test nails found lower pullout capacities than initially estimated, requiring nail lengths to increase by 33% on redesign. Construction challenges including high entry points and utilities were addressed through specialized drilling methods and equipment.
Ground improvement using vibro-stone technique
This document summarizes the vibro-stone column ground improvement technique. It discusses that stone columns involve installing compacted columns of crushed stone in the ground to improve load bearing capacity and reduce settlement. There are two main installation methods - non-displacement using bored and rammed systems, and displacement using vibro-replacement. The design of stone columns considers factors like column diameter, spacing, replacement ratio, loading patterns, site conditions, and installation technique to meet settlement tolerances. Stone columns function to increase bearing capacity, improve stiffness, carry high loads, and homogenize variable soil properties.

Mechanisms and mitigation of highway landslide collapse in indiana by by Male...
This document discusses mechanisms and mitigation of highway landslides in Indiana. It describes common landslide types such as high bluff peeloffs, groundwater blowouts, deep-seated slides, and shallow colluvial slides. A case study of repeated landslides on State Route 237 is presented. The initial slide was repaired with a soil nail wall, but a second slide occurred. Investigation revealed collapsed coal mine shafts requiring interceptor drains, grouting, and a new drilled pier wall with tiebacks. Constructability concerns led to design changes to safely construct the new wall and mitigate landslide risk.
Ground improvement techniques
This document discusses various ground improvement techniques used to address problematic soils and ground conditions. It covers methods like compaction, dynamic compaction, vibro-displacement, preloading with vertical drains, deep soil mixing, grouting, ground freezing, biotechnical stabilization, reinforced soil, and geosynthetics reinforcement. The selection of a technique depends on factors like the type of ground, required improvement, constraints, and costs. Proper design, execution, and quality control are needed to effectively apply these ground improvement methods.
Stone column
Vibro replacement stone columns are a ground improvement technique to improve the load bearing capacity and reduce the settlement of the soil. On many occasions, it is noted that the local soil is, by nature, unable to bear the proposed structure, so the use of ground improvement techniques may be necessary. Use of stone columns is one such technique. The stone column consists of crushed coarse aggregates of various sizes. The ratio in which the stones of different sizes will be mixed is decided by design criteria

Innovative Slope Stabilisation
This document summarizes the design of a retaining structure to stabilize a section of highway affected by slope failures. A combination system using soldier piles, rock anchors, and ground improvement piles was developed to support the road formation and account for varying bedrock depths. Soldier piles were used where bedrock was shallow, and were anchored with rock anchors where overburden was thicker. Ground improvement piles were used where bedrock was deepest. The detailed design specified pile sizes and spacing based on bedrock depth, and rock anchors were installed through soldier piles below road level. This hybrid system provided stabilization while accommodating site conditions in a cost-effective manner.

3) Regulations and public expectations of safety have increased in response to accidents, requiring specialized professionals to be involved in design and oversight of challenging excavation and tunneling projects.
4) Technology has advanced, allowing improved investigation, analysis, and monitoring of soil behavior and project performance over time.
GeoSS,18SEAGS, 2013, Singapore
Changes in geotechnical engineering over the past 6000 years were summarized. Key changes included the development of specialized contractors for soil nails and ground anchors in the 1960s, and deep excavation projects in built-up urban areas. Major infrastructure projects in Singapore like the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway tunnel introduced complex construction methods near existing structures. Advances in soil investigation technology, analysis methods, and public expectations of safety following incidents have impacted the field. Looking ahead, projects will likely involve deeper excavations and more complex designs integrated across disciplines. Facing changes requires learning from others, mistakes, and a passion for continuous improvement.
