Dynamic compaction
Dynamic compaction
March 23, 2023Good-quality compaction is highly significant for the proper relationship between the bearing capacity and deformation in connection with safety, usability, life span and maintenance of structures either lying on earth material or made of such material. Dynamic compaction (DC), also known as dynamic deep compaction, is a ground improvement technique in which drop weight, typically […]
The influence of groundwater on the stability of soil and underground parts of structures
The influence of groundwater on the stability of soil and underground parts of structures
February 17, 2023If structures are constructed in areas with a high level of groundwater, it can have a significant impact on the stability of soil and underground parts of the structures. A high level of groundwater at the location can cause a decrease in the shear strength of the foundation soil under the structures, an increase in […]

The Adriatic Highway, one of the most beautiful roads that changed Croatia
The Adriatic Highway, one of the most beautiful roads that changed Croatia
December 15, 2022After the Second World War, most of the towns and cities on the Adriatic coast in Croatia were connected only by sea. What was lacking was a solid road link. During the Second World War, the construction of the Adriatic Highway was already begun, and it lasted until 1965. This road stretches from the Slovenian […]

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) test
Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) test
November 10, 2022Hardness is the basic quantitative engineering property of a rock sample. Assessing the strength and deformability of rock mass is of great importance for the implementation of numerical analyses in rock mechanics. Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is a geomechanical rock parameter that describes the maximum axial load that the sample can withstand without lateral loading. […]
