Testing in Geotechnical Design
Testing is an inherent and integral element of geotechnical design. This paper describes and discusses geotechnical testing in the design process from a consulting practitioner’s perspective of the current state-of-practice. The role, objectives, types and interpretation of testing, limitations and recommended good practices are presented. Successful implementation of testing in design is demonstrated through examination of test data from a few case records.

by Admin | 1st Za Chieh-Moh Distinguished Lecture: The Geotechnical Problems of The Second World Largest Copper Tailings Pond at Zelazny Most, Poland
The paper summarizes the experiences of the writers in assisting KGHM (the Polish acronym for Copper Mine and Mill Company) in the development of one the world‟s largest copper tailings disposal facility, located in South-West Poland. This paper describes the tailings disposal facilities, the geological features of the area with particular emphasis on the considerable influence of the various Pleistocene glaciations, and the geotechnical aspects of the design and construction. The geotechnical characterization of the tailings and of the foundation soils is described, focusing on their shear
