Geoscience is evolvingDiscover how geoscience professionals are overcoming obstacles in mining, energy, civil engineering, and environmental industries with technology and innovation.

Introduction The preservation of the permafrost is often imperative to protect such structures as roads, railways, and runway embankments. Man-made structures generally alter the surface

Introduction Artificial soil freezing is used in many engineering projects to excavate and construct mine shafts, tunnels, or other underground structures through water bearing, often

Introduction This is the first of four examples demonstrating the basics of setting up three-dimensional geometries in BUILD3D. This example summarizes how to create a

Introduction Tie-back anchors are a common stabilization method for steep excavations (Figure 1). The anchors transfer the load on the wall deeper into the ground

Introduction There are many problems in geotechnical engineering that involve a coupling between climatic conditions and the thermal response within the ground. These types of

Introduction Caesium-137 is an anthropogenic radioactive isotope formed as a product of nuclear fission. Historically, Cs-137 was released into the environment by nuclear weapons testing

Introduction The construction of roadway and railway embankments in cold regions can influence the overall thermal response of underlying permafrost. This change in the thermal

Introduction This is the final example demonstrating the basics of setting up three-dimensional geometries in BUILD3D. In this example, we will import a STEP file
