More details about these correction methods can be found in appendix D, geotechnical principles. 

An example of a bearing capacity calculation method for shallow foimdations is the theory developed by Meyerhof (1951, 1953, 1963) A short overview of this theory can be found in Appendix D Geotechnical Principles. 

One of the analysis methods regarding squeezing has been defined by Matar-Salen9on (CUR 162, 1996). A short description of this method can be found in Appendix D, Geotechnical Principles. 

In order to demonstrate the importance of the influencing parameters, the following most common settlement theories and corresponding formulas are briefly discussed in appendix D Geotechnical Principles ... 

The traditional geotechnical survey is characterized by discrete information. It means that old survey methods cannot provide comprehensive data on the geological structure, substance composition and properties of the whole pipeline route. This principle is not observed in all the three main gas pipeline cases. The technical documentation of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, the South-Caucasus Pipeline system, and particularly of the North-South Caucasus Gas Pipeline does not include longitudinal geotechnical profiles of the route and the pipeline corridor in the geotechnical maps. Trial pits and boreholes that are arranged approximately 1,5-... 

Corresponding to the principle of targeted requirements the content and volume of the geotechnical information that will be received at each phase of survey should strictly respond to the main engendering objectives to be solved at the given stage, namely ...

In principle all the THMC processes may be involved in the geotechnical and geo-environmental problems. However, to simplify the problem for solution, only the major processes are considered for a particular problem. For example, the dam foundation problems are practically dominated by the coupled HM processes. The objectives of the solution are the interactions between the foundation stresses and deformation (the mechanical process), and the seepage pressure and flow rate (hydraulic process). Only in some special cases the thermal and/or chemical processes may also be involved, say, for dams built in cold region or on rock foundation of high solubility.

Base on the principle of direct shear test, if the pile and geotechnical material was seen as a system, the process of pressed or dragged pile was similar to the process of the direct shear test. As a consequence, the similar physical quantity was given by ...

Geotechnical topics covered during the first cycle include soil formation, phase relationships, soil classification, principle of effective stress, seepage, consolidation, shear strength, drained and undrained conditions, essentials of Eurocode 7, retaining walls, shallow foundations, slope stability, and field investigations. There are three class hours of lectures and two class hours of exercises per week, within a semester consisting of 15 weeks. With this list of topics, basic soil mechanics principles escape students, who attend...
