Selected geotechnical projects that benefited from the use limited state design are briefly presented. 1 INTRODUCTION Limit state design in Australia has a short history. The first limit state geotechnical code was introduced by AUSTROAD‚ an umbrella organization representing the interests of all state road authorities‚ in early 90s. Geotechnical design codes in Australia are developed by Standards

Many buildings use deep foundations even though it is expensive and also time consuming. On the other hand‚ shallow foundations are the complete opposite; they are relatively inexpensive and take up less time in building. So why do engineers recommend deep foundations over shallow foundations despite the vast differences that each have? Deep foundations are embedded deep into the ground so that the ground has a better grip on the structure. There are many types of deep foundations‚ one example

Soft engineering works in harmony with the natural environment and is effective in protecting the coast. To what extent do you agree with this view? I agree with this view to a great extent. Soft engineering methods are natural ways of dealing with erosion‚ however‚ every method comes with disadvantages. One way in which soft engineering working well with the natural environment and is also effective‚ is beach nourishment. This is where materials such as sand and shingle are moved from the bed

Shallow foundations Shallow foundations are those founded near to the finished ground surface; generally where the founding depth (Df) is less than the width of the footing and less than 3m. These are not strict rules‚ but merely guidelines: basically‚ if surface loading or other surface conditions will affect the bearing capacity of a foundation it is ’shallow’. Shallow foundations (sometimes called ’spread footings’) include pads (’isolated footings’)‚ strip footings and rafts. Shallows foundations
