Geo-synthetics are synthetic polymer products used in construction to provide separation, drainage, filtration, reinforcement and containment functions. They include planar structures like geotextiles, geomembranes and geogrids as well as three-dimensional structures like geocells. Common geo-synthetic materials are polypropylene, HDPE, polyester and PVC. They are widely used in roads, drainage works, erosion control, retaining walls and reinforced soil structures to provide long-term, cost-effective solutions with environmental benefits like pollution control and resource efficiency.
Reinforced earth is a combination of earth and linear reinforcing strips that are capable of bearing large tensile stresses.
The reinforcement provided by these strips enable the mass to resist the tension in a way which the earth alone could not. The source of this resistance to tension is the internal friction of soil, because the stresses that are created within the mass are transferred from soil to the reinforcement strips by friction.

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
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in India with annual consumption exceeding 100 million cubic meters.
High performance concrete is a concrete in which certain characteristics are developed for a particular application and environment, so that it will give excellent performance in the structure in which it will be placed.
A high-strength concrete is always a high performance concrete, but a high-performance concrete is not always a high-strength concrete.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Sachpazis:Terzaghi Bearing Capacity Estimation in simple terms with Calculati...Dr.Costas Sachpazis
Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.
2. What are Geo-synthetics ?
Geo-synthetics are synthetic products, where at least one of the
components is made from a synthetic or natural polymer, in the
form of a sheet, a strip or a three dimensional structure, non-
woven, knitted, or woven which is used in contact with soil/rock
and/or other materials in geotechnical and civil engineering
applications .
These include:
Planar structures (Geomembranes, geotextiles, geosynthetic
barriers, Geonets, Geogrids, geostrips, geospacers and geomats,
etc.) and
Three-dimensional structures (geocells, geofoams, gabions and
concrete filled mattresses).
8. Geo-synthetics are classified as follows:

used for reinforcement.
They have high strain and stretch considerably under load.
12. 2.Geogrids
They have open grid like configuration i.e. they have large
aperture between individual ribs. They have Low strain and stretch
about 2% under load. Strength is more that other common
geotextiles.
Function: Used exclusively for reinforcement. It enhances the
interaction between soil and aggregate.
13. 3. Geonets (Geospacers):
Formed by continuous extrusion of parallel sets of polymeric
ribs(LDPE & HDPE) at preset angles to one another.
design function is completely within the in-plane drainage area where
they are used to convey all types of liquids.
Though they are used for the drainage function but they have high
tensile strength.
Generally used along with one or two geotextile matter one at the top
and other at the bottom to prevent soil intrusion .
14. 4. Geomembranes
Materials are relatively thin impervious sheets .Generally made
from butyl rubber.
The sale of Geomembrane are greater than geotextiles.
Impervious thin sheets of rubber or plastic materials primarily
used for the lining and covers of liquid and solid impoundments.
15. 5.Geosynthetic Clay Liners:
Factory fabricated and bentonite clay is sand witched between 2
geotextile. Structural integrity is obtained by needle punching.
Function: Containment, As Hydraulic barrier. Include thin layers of
finely grounded bentonite clay.
Clay swells and becomes a very effective hydraulic barrier when
wetted. Manufactured by sandwiching bentonite within/layering it on
geotextile and Geomembranes.
17. 6.Geo Cells/Geo Web Members:
Similar to geotextiles or Geogrids but have depth. Formed by High
Density Polyethylene sheets.
When opened form honey comb like structure and that contain soil,
gravel and it allow water through it. Most preferably used in slopes
with soft sub-grade erosion control in channel.
18. 7. Geo Foam:
Large but extremely light materials with gas filled cells. Made from
expanded poly styrene and extruded poly styrene by polymeric
expansion process.

27. Economic Importance of Geosynthetics
Commonly accepted as durable, long lasting and
environmentally safe solutions to geotechnical
engineering projects.
The cost of geo-synthetics applied usually between 3
to 5 per cent of the total cost of projects.
For a number of projects, savings of 30 per cent in
total project costs have been reported.
Minimizes the regular repair and maintenance costs
directly.
Prevent accidents, increase efficiency of structures,
minimize pollution and leads to efficient use of natural
resources.
28. Environmental Importance of Geosynthetics:
The civil engineering structures need to have long term
durability to prevent potential ecological disasters
(floods, draughts, earthquakes, global warming) .
Geosynthetics provide such long lasting solutions with
minimum cost.
Geo-techs are difficult or impossible to degrade. However,
in view of their inert nature they can be disposed off
without the danger of contamination.
Geosynthetics assist the environment by acting as a
containing barrier for toxic materials.
The envisaged functional lifetime of Geosynthetics is
extremely long, in many cases over 100 years.
Geosynthetics provide sealing and capping of pollution
due to chemicals released after road and rail accidents into
groundwater areas.
29. Conclusion
The future appears to be more promising with stronger & more
durable Geosynthetics emerging into the market along with
fibrous system to be mixed with soil for giving more hope as well
as challenge to the Geotechnical engineer in the years to come.
