Geotechnical Research
NYU geotechnical group is widely recognized as the leading authority in several areas of geotechnical research including physical modeling of soil structure interaction and multiphase flow using transparent soils, behavior piling made of recycled polymers, micro piling, and ground improvement using soil nails. In addition, recent research included seismic earth pressure, remediation of contaminated soils, sensing, earth pressure against rigidly framed structures, and penetration mechanics of fast traveling projectiles and torpedo anchors.

NYU geotechnical group has been studying terminal ballistics in soils, with emphasis on sand. This project provides information on (1) the response of sand under high strain rate (HSR) loading, (2) the mechanics of penetration in soils, (3) a summary of visualization experiments done at NYU and collaborating universities. |

Seismic Earth Pressure Calculator This Calculator computes pseudo-static seismic earth pressure on rigid retaining walls supporting c-phi soils. The equation accounts for sloping backfill, as well as wall inclination, and can readily accommodate layered soil profiles and the presence of groundwater. |

Rigidly Framed Earth Retaining Structures A simple method that can be used to determine the lateral deflections of rigidly framed structures is presented to0 simplify the design process and provide an efficient means to verify computer-aided calculations. The method is suitable for low-rise rigidly framed structures subjected to a variety of lateral force distributions varying with the height of the frame. |
