What is Geostructural Engineering? | Richard J. Driscoll, Consulting Engineer “Geostrucutral engineering” is a term that has become increasingly common in the specialty foundation construction community in the past 10 to 15 years. Like too many terms in architecture, engineerin...

#Geostructural #engineering is an interdisciplinary specialty comprising elements of #structuralengineering, #geotechnicalengineering and #constructionengineering. It's not just #geotechnical #design by another name.

When the Earth SWALLOWS You: Sinkholes & BURIED Secrets What if the most solid thing you know—the ground beneath your feet—is actually an illusion, honeycombed with voids and waiting to collapse? It's time to find out what lies beneath. This is the ultimate deep dive into the terrifying and fascinating science of sinkholes. We explore the bizarre geology of karst landscapes, where a world of dissolving limestone and underground rivers creates the perfect conditions for the earth to literally swallow houses, cars, and roads whole. This isn't a rare phenomenon; it's a hidden reality for huge parts of the world. We go beyond the shocking headlines to understand the science of subsidence. How do experts use cutting-edge technology like Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to peer beneath the surface and predict the next disaster? We'll also navigate the complex human aftermath, from the high-stakes world of property insurance in places like Florida to the legal battles over what defines a "sinkhole" versus a Catastrophic Ground Cover Collapse (CGCC). This is more than an Earth Science lesson; it's an investigation into the hidden dangers we drive over and live on top of every single day, revealing a fragile, hollow world you never knew existed. Ready to question the very ground you stand on? Subscribe now to uncover the secrets of the subterranean world, before it opens up to claim you.

Should You Have Your Geotechnical Report Peer Reviewed? | Richard J. Driscoll, Consulting Engineer The foundation is one of the most critical components of any structure. Poor foundation design and construction can impair the serviceability of the entire structure and put adjacent structures at ris...

Thoughtful, project-specific #foundation #design parameters and recommendations can help contain #construction cost and manage #risk. If your #geotechnical report does not provide this, perhaps a second opinion is warranted. www.richardjdriscoll.com/2016/02/shou... #engineering #construction
