Dear all,
Here, you can find attached a Plaxis tutorial detailing the different steps that one should follow for an efficient modeling of a given pile foundation system. Equivalent 3D modeling using the 2D Plaxis code is also presented.
I hope that it will be useful for all of you,
Sincerely,

Dear Students, Engineers and Lecturers,
As indicated in the post subtitle, attached is a PDF file containing 300 solved problems in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering.
I hope that it will be useful for all of you.

Dear all,
Attached is a conference paper dealing with jet grouting design and control. It exposes clearly how these foundation elements work under compressive loads. Further, it gives practical recommandations regarding execution procedures of such a foundation system in terms of particle size distribution. More precisely, it proposes several execution modes of jet grout columns depending on grain size distributions of layers which will be “crossed” by these elements.
I hope that it will be useful for all of you.

Dear all,
Attached is a very interesting book exposing in details all the recommandations proposed by Eurocode 7. Further, this document gives readers the ability to understand how the Eurocode 7 has been built and what are the main points of difference between it and other standards, especially, the british one.
Good lecture for all of you.
Sincerely,
B.G
Dear all,
Attached is a paper detailing the difference between 2D (plain strain conditions ) and 3D modeling of jet grouting columns. Indeed, as not all of us has an official 3D licence of a given computational geotechnical code, we are sometimes facing the need to carry on equivalent 3D modeling in plain strain conditions.
I hope that this paper will be useful to all of you.
Sincerely,
B.G
Dear all,
Attached is a PPT file presenting a practical tool for designing columnar-reinforced foundation. The software Columns 1.0, architected and designed by Prof Mounir Bouassida and Lassad Hazzar is the fruit of more than 25 years of research and practical experience in soil improvement. Columns 1.0,a purely tunisian product, has been commercialized since 2008 and purchased by several international firms as Leighton Consulting (USA), Hamza Associates (Egypt), EGM (France), etc… Based on a novel methodology established by Prof Mounir Bouassida, Columns allows the user to have an optimal design of a given reinforcing solution (Stone Columns, Rigid inclusions(CFA piles), Jet grouting,etc..) based on results of geotechnical exploration campaign.
In the same context, I have attached you 3 other scientific papers and 2 presentations dealing with stone-columns modeling for more deeper details.
I hope that this post will be useful for all of you.
Sincerely,
B.G

Dear all,
Here you can find a set of technical papers presenting the use of the finite difference code FLAC in several geotechnical case studies. As most of you know, FLAC gives for users more “liberty” and “flexibility” when building up their geomechanical models and even during their computational phases.
I hope that this document will enrich you both in your engineering and research projects.
Sincerely,
B.G.
Good morning,
Here, you can find a master thesis detailing how to compute lateral earth pressure. The main advantage of this document is to bring you deeply about a frequent exercice in geotechnics. As all of you know, lateral earth presure is useful in most geotechincal practices as retaining walls, sheet piles, slope stability and further applications. A good reason for which we should take a look on this master thesis !
I hope that it will be useful for you .

Dear all,
Attached is a plaxis tutorial presenting several geotechnical case studies. Although this document is about the old Plaxis version, it can be very useful for you, peculiarly in how to build up your model from initial phase to your final computational analysis.
Greetings,
B.G
