Expertise Domains

  1. Foundation System Selection and Optimization

    Strategic evaluation and selection of shallow and deep foundation systems tailored to site conditions and project requirements.

  2. Performance-Based Design of Deep Foundations

    Integration of advanced analysis and design methods to ensure safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness under real-world loading conditions.

  3. In-Situ Testing with CPT and CPTu

    Application of Cone Penetration Test (CPT) and Piezocone (CPTu) for accurate soil profiling, parameter evaluation, and foundation design input.

  4. Ground Improvement and Soil Modification

    Design and implementation of techniques to enhance soil properties for increased bearing capacity and reduced settlement risk.

  5. Physical Modeling Using the Frustum Confining Vessel (FCV)

    Innovative modeling of geo-structures and soil–structure interaction under controlled confinement for research and design validation.

  6. CPT and Pile Performance Database Development

    Compilation and utilization of comprehensive databases for design validation, predictive modeling, and reliability assessment.

  7. Foundation Load–Displacement Behavior Analysis

    Evaluation and modeling of axial and lateral response of foundations under various loading scenarios for serviceability and strength criteria.

  8. Risk Mitigation for Adjacent Construction Activities

    Investigation and resolution of geotechnical risks due to nearby excavation, surcharge loads, or the influence of an adjacent building or structure on existing assets.

  9. Marine and Riverine Geotechnics

    Characterization, analysis, and foundation enhancement for coastal, offshore, and river-based infrastructure under challenging conditions.

  10. Resilient and Sustainable Geotechnical Systems

    Integration of durability, adaptability, and environmental considerations into the planning and design of long-term geosystems.
