Lucy Philip supervised numerous M.Sc. engineering geology projects from 1997-2007. The 12-month projects typically involved an industry partner and had client meetings, scopes, problems, and deliverables. Lucy acted as project manager and provided technical guidance to students. The projects covered a wide range of topics including landfills, railways, highways, dams, tunnels, structures, slope stability, foundations, piles, bearing capacity, settlement, earthworks, ground remediation, seepage, materials, rock mechanics, numerical modeling, contaminated land, and site investigation. Several projects were confidential and are not listed.
A case study on soft soil improvement of hanoi haiphong expressway project in...HoangTienTrung1
A case of using Sand Compaction Pile method to improve the foundation soil for expressway in Vietnam is presented. The sand compaction pile (SCP) method, which forms a composite ground by driving the pile made of compacted sands into soft ground, is one of the commonly used soil improvement techniques in Viet Nam. The SCP method used to improve the ground through the increase of bearing capacity, which is achieved by improving loose sandy soils or accelerating the consolidation of soft clay soils. Within the country where the condition of sand purchase is abundant in Viet Nam, sand compaction pile were often used for soft ground improvement to replace the Load Relief Slab and Soil-Cement Column at Hanoi-Haiphong Expressway Project recently. The procedures used for soil improvement, the instrumentation and the field monitoring data are described. A few observational methods based on settlement records are available to predict future settlement and consolidation behavior, namely the hyperbolic (Tan 1971; Chin 1975) and Asaoka (Asaoka 1978) method. The field data were from the Thai Binh Bridge approached embankment construction at Hanoi-Haiphong Expressway Project.
"Geotechnical Engineering - Dams" is a PowerPoint for primary and secondary students that focuses on detailing the field of Geotechnical Engineering and the types and construction of dams. It also highlights careers in the field of Geotechnical Engineering. This lesson can be paired with a "Building Dams" activity.
A case study on Coastal protection structure failure. Quay failure in Port of Barcelona. The presentation describes the failure of harbour walls which occurred at Barcelona on 1st January 2007, associated with an inadequate consideration of the ground conditions in the light of the marine environment. At Barcelona, the construction of the quay wall proceeded at a faster rate than the breakwater. In this case the wharf backfill was placed rapidly on the soft muds, progressing from the inland side. The paper discusses the importance of an overview including the ground investigation, engineering design, construction method and speed of construction.

Mine Haul Road Upgrade Project OZ Minerals Prominent Hill South AustraliaStephen McKnight
An all weather Haul Road Upgrade Project was implemented at the OZ Minerals Prominent Hill site in March 2012. The primary objective was to introduce a "traffic light" system identifying the various levels of remediation required and types of depths and material to be utilised. Once designed crossfalls and appropriate drainage were established in conjunction with sub-base, base and wearing course materials the mining haul roads were capable of sustaining traffic during light rain events; thus increasing productivity and vehicle integrity and longevity for sustained periods. The project provided appropriate road systems both in pit and on surface routes to the waste dumps and ROM Pad during rain events. Some $4M per year in recovered productivity has been anticipated by the implementation of this successful project initiative.

Dr. Malek Smadi, Ph.D. thesis lateral deformation and associated settlement r...Dr. Malek Smadi
Settlement of structures on soft clay deposits results from flow and consolidation of soil. In the latter case, water squeezes out from under the structure, whereas in the former case soil squeezes out. Settlement resulting from flow of soil depends on the factor of safety against undrained instability.
In construction situations where the factor of safety is small, an accurate prediction of settlement reSUlting from flow of soil is required. Field measurements of horizontal deformation of soft clays during and after construction of embankments and storage facilities have been collected from throughout the world, covering 180 case histories, to relate lateral deformation to the factor of safety and to develop a practical procedure for computing settlements resulting from flow of soil.
Ground Improvement by Vibro Stone ColumnsDesh Sonyok
Vibro replacement stone column is one of the widely used soil improvement technique to improve the settlement characteristics, bearing capacity and mitigate the liquefaction issues of the soft soil. In this paper, improvement of the settlement characteristics of the soft soil is considered for the analysis based on the available case histories. A settlement estimation method proposed by Preibe (1995) is verified quantitatively. Finally, an analytical solution for settlement of soft ground for the stone column design is proposed. The proposed method of calculating settlement is based on the basic concept of composite material and soil mechanics. However, the result of this preliminary work is yet to validate numerically and in the field. Detailed research in future is necessary to check its validity and applicability

Soil nail wall - Soil nailing - soil nailing walls
Soil nailing is an earth retention technique using grouted tension-resisting steel elements (nails) that can be design for permanent or temporary support. The walls are generally constructed from the top down. Typically, 3 to 6 feet of soil is excavated from the top of the planned excavation. Near-horizontal holes are drilled into the exposed face at typically 3 to 6 foot centers. Tension-resisting steel bars are inserted into the holes and grouted. A drainage system is installed on the exposed face, followed by the application of reinforced shotcrete facing. Precast face
Galvanized steel sheet and Hoesch sheet pile are available from JD Fields, your premiere sheet piling distributor based in the U.S.!

Soil nailing is a technique used to reinforce and strengthen existing ground.Soil nailing consists of installing closely spaced bars into a slope or excavation as construction proceeds from top down.It is an effective and economical method of constructing retaining wall for excavation support, support of hill cuts, bridge abutments and high ways.This process is effective in cohesive soil, broken rock, shale or fixed face conditions.
Construction Challenges For Bridges In Hilly AreasShantanu Patil
Hilly region pose unique problem for bridge construction. In a restricted hilly area itself climatic condition, Geographical features and hydrological parameters affect considerably. Keeping in view the bridge site and various constraints, type of bridges and method of construction are to be selected carefully for safe, economical and successful completion of bridges construction.
Tunnelling is a serious engineering project.
In addition to large investment cost, the challenges related to long and deep tunnels are considerable.
Important aspects which needs to be considered are related to the construction works, geology, environment and operation. his module highlights all these aspects.

Page 1 of 4
The M.Sc. course in Engineering Geology was 12 month taught Master’s course. Individual M.Sc. projects ran from May to September and almost all projects were run with
an industry partner, typically consulting engineers. These projects typically had client meetings, scopes, problems and deliverable deadlines. Lucy effectively acted as
project manager; the industry partners had to be persuaded to give a student a project and have a good enough experience to want to offer repeat projects in subsequent
years. During her supervision of students, Lucy would act as a technical lead and mentor; providing advice, steering and guidance. Lucy marked these and other projects.
Several projects were strictly confidential and do not feature in this list.
