The Basics of Slope Stability Analysis for Geosynthetics

Slope stability analysis is vital to preventing slope failures in a variety of engineering applications including landfill design, roads, dams and embankments, to name a few. Proper analysis anticipates both natural and manmade slopes and failure of foundations and retaining walls. This blog covers the necessity of slope stability analysis, how to conduct the analysis and the role of ...

Dual Mass Dynamic Cone Penetrometers (DCPs)

Developed by the Army Corps of Engineers, Dynamic Cone Penetrometers (DCPs) provide a low-cost, efficient test method for quickly determining in-situ CBR values of pavement base, subbase and subgrades. They can readily be used for depths up to 30" and up to 6` with optional drive rods and extensions. This model complies with ASTM D6951 specifications and comes with a chart to compute CBR values, ...
