A retaining wall is a structure that is designed to hold back soil or other materials when there is a change in ground elevation. Retaining walls are commonly used in civil engineering to support soil and prevent erosion. They are typically constructed of various materials, including concrete, masonry, and timber. Retaining walls are used in a variety of settings, including residential and commercial construction, roadways and highways, and landscaping projects. They are often used to create level areas for building or landscaping by holding back soil or other materials on sloping terrain. The design of a retaining wall depends on several factors, including the type of soil, the height of the wall, and the slope of the ground. There are several types of retaining walls, including gravity walls, cantilever walls, sheet pile walls, and anchored walls. The type of wall used depends on the specific requirements of the project. Overall, retaining walls are an important component of civil engineering projects and are used to support soil and prevent erosion. They require careful design and construction to ensure their stability and effectiveness.

Geotechnical Engineering: A Student's Perspective
By Dr. Costas Sachpazis.
Geotechnical engineering is a branch of civil engineering that focuses on the behavior of earth materials such as soil and rock. It is a crucial aspect of any construction project, as the properties of the ground can have a significant impact on the design and stability of structures. Geotechnical engineers work to understand the physical and mechanical properties of soil and rock, as well as how these materials interact with man-made structures.
Geotechnical engineering plays a crucial role in the field of civil engineering, as it deals with the behavior of earth materials and how they interact with structures. Understanding the properties of soil and rock beneath the surface is essential for designing safe and stable structures that can withstand various loads and environmental conditions. Without proper knowledge of geotechnical engineering, civil engineers would not be able to ensure the safety and longevity of their projects.

Pile configuration optimization on the design of combined piled raft foundations
By: Birhanu Asefa, Eleyas Assefa, Lysandros Pantelidis,Costas Sachpazis
This paper examines the impact of different pile configurations and geometric parameters on the bearing capacity and the settlement response of a combined pile–raft foundation system utilizing FLAC3D software. The configurations considered were: (1) uniform piles (denoted as CONF1), (2) shorter and longer piles uniformly distributed on the plan view of the raft (CONF2), (3) shorter piles at the center and longer piles at the edge of the raft (CONF3), and (4) longer piles at the center and shorter piles at the edge of the raft (CONF4). In the same framework, different pile diameters and raft stiffnesses were examined. The piles are considered to float in a cohesive–frictional soil mass, simulating the thick cohesive soil deposit found in Addis Abeba (Ethiopia). During simulation, a zero-thickness interface element was employed to incorporate the complex interaction between the soil elements and the structural elements. The analyses indicate that the configuration of piles has a considerable effect on both the bearing capacity and the settlement response of the foundation system. CONF1 and CONF3 improve the bearing capacity and exhibits a smaller average settlement than other configurations. However, CONF3 registers the highest differential settlement. On the other hand, the lowest differential settlement was achieved by the CONF4 configuration; the same configuration also gives ultimate load resistance comparable to those provided by either CONF1 or CONF3. The study also showed that applying zero-thickness interface elements to simulate the interaction between components of the foundation system is suitable for examining piled raft foundations problem.

Η αιολική ενέργεια προσφέρει πολλά πλεονεκτήματα, κάτι που εξηγεί γιατί είναι μια από τις ταχύτερα αναπτυσσόμενες πηγές ενέργειας στον κόσμο. Οι ερευνητικές προσπάθειες αποσκοπούν στην αντιμετώπιση των προκλήσεων για μεγαλύτερη χρήση της αιολικής ενέργειας.
Καθώς είναι πιο καθαρή και φιλική προς το κλίμα, η Αιολική Ενέργεια χρησιμοποιείται ολοένα και περισσότερο για να καλύψει τις συνεχώς αυξανόμενες παγκόσμιες ενεργειακές απαιτήσεις. Στην Ελλάδα, υπάρχει ένα μεγάλο κενό μεταξύ των Αιολικών Πόρων και της πραγματικής παραγωγής ενέργειας, και είναι επιτακτική ανάγκη να επεκταθεί η ανάπτυξη της αιολικής ενέργειας, ιδιαίτερα στις ημέρες μας μετά από την Νέα Εποχή της Απολιγνιτοποίησης που έχουμε εισέλθει με βάση τις προσταγές και τους νόμους της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης.

Sachpazis: Retaining Walls - Know How Basics_
Retaining walls are relatively rigid walls used for supporting soil laterally so that it can be retained at different levels on the two sides. Retaining walls are structures designed to restrain soil to a slope that it would not naturally keep to (typically a steep, near-vertical or vertical slope). They are used to bound soils between two different elevations often in areas of terrain possessing undesirable slopes or in areas where the landscape needs to be shaped severely and engineered for more specific purposes like hillside farming or roadway overpasses. A retaining wall that retains soil on the backside and water on the frontside is called a seawall or a bulkhead.
Sachpazis: Hydraulic Structures / About Dams
Sachpazis: Hydraulic Structures / About Dams.
A dam is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of water or underground streams. Reservoirs created by dams not only suppress floods but also provide water for activities such as irrigation, human consumption, industrial use, aquaculture, and navigability. Hydropower is often used in conjunction with dams to generate electricity. A dam can also be used to collect water or for storage of water which can be evenly distributed between locations. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees (also known as dikes) are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions. The earliest known dam is the Jawa Dam in Jordan, dating to 3,000 BC.

Slope Stability Evaluation for the New Railway Embankment using Stochastic & ...
Evaluation of Slope stability is one of the day-to-day practices of geotechnical engineers. Nowadays, different methods are available to evaluate the stability of a particular slope. Despite the advances that have been made in site exploration, evaluating the stability of slopes remains a challenge. Recently, Ethiopia has been trying to construct a newly planned railway routes to connect the country’s development centers and link with ports of neighboring countries. However, this newly planned railway routes will pass in the heart of highly fragile mountainous terrains and earthquake prone regions. Therefore, the prime objective of this paper is to investigate the stability of the railway embankment by using three different stochastic approaches (First Order Reliability Method, Point Estimate Method and Monte Carlo Simulation) with commercially available finite element programs. Moreover, the seismic response of the railway embankment was studied by using a nonlinear analysis (FLAC2D v 7.0) program. The first order reliability method (FORM), Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) and Point-estimate method (PEM) gave 3.2%, 4.14% and 1.5% of probability of failure respectively. In the mean time, there was no any indication of liquefaction observed due to stiff foundation clay soils and deep groundwater table.

Evaluating the stability of slopes in soil is an important, interesting, and challenging aspect of civil engineering. Despite the advances that have been made, evaluating the stability of slopes remains a challenge. Slope failures are often caused by processes that increase shear stresses or decrease shear strengths of the soil mass [4, 9]. Water plays a role in many of the processes that reduce strength; water is also involved in many types of loads on slopes that increase shear stresses. Another factor involved in most slope failures is the presence of soils that contain clay minerals. In concept, any slope with ....... Read More..
