“Identification of Soil and Rock Parameters by scientific Interpretation of Field measurements”Prof Rolf Katzenbach

One of the most challenging fields of geotechnicalengineering is the correct specification of soil androck parameters. As the significance of lab tests isvery limited because of the extremely smalldimension of the specimen it is very helpful if it ispossible to identify the strength and the stiffness ofsoil and rock by the back analysis of fieldmeasurements if those data are available.

By example of the scientific interpretation of largescale field tests (pile load tests) and of creepingslopes due to the time dependent rheologicalbehavior of the materials the methodology and themodelling procedure of the qualified identification ofthe real strength and of the real stiffness of soil androck in-situ is described in detail.

Prof. Harry Poulos is currently a Senior Consultant with theCoffey group in Sydney, and is also an Emeritus Professor atthe University of Sydney. He has undertaken research into theanalysis and design of pile foundations for onshore andoffshore applications, and in recent years, for high-risebuildings. He has been involved in a large number of majorprojects in Australia and overseas including the Egnatia Odoshighway project in Greece, the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai, theDubai tower in Doha, Qatar, and the Crown Tower in Sydney.


“Challenges for Tall Building Foundation Design”Prof Harry Poulos

Some of the challenges facing thedesigners of foundations for tallbuildings will be discussed andprocedures for overcoming thesechallenges will be proposed. Theseprocedures will be illustrated viathree examples: the Burj Khalifa inDubai, the Incheon 151 Tower inSouth Korea, and a tall building onkarstic ground in Saudi Arabia.

“Tailored Ground Improvement Methods for Safe Foundation of Heavily Loaded Structures ”Prof. Dr. Michal Topolnicki

Addressed is the gap which often exists inthe geotechnical praxis betweenconventional piling and alternativeground improvement solutions. Thelecture focuses on the application ofadvanced ground improvement methodsto satisfy restrictive bearing capacity andsettlement criteria of heavily loadedstructures, such as high rise buildings aswell as infrastructure and industrialobjects. The selected techniques arepresented, and the underlying designphilosophy is explained with reference tointernational examples of application.

Dr Andrew Smith has over thirty years’ experience ingeotechnical engineering. He has worked on a wide range ofprojects, ranging from highway works through deep piledfoundations for both offshore and onshore structures to deepexcavations. He is particularly known for his ability to addressproblems that require strong analytical skills and a thoroughunderstanding of theoretical soil mechanics. He is also wellknown as a lecturer: he gave the presentations that won the2008 Fleming prize and 2009 Engineers Ireland GeotechnicalPrize, and has recently been invited to present a lecture to theCity University’s MSc course on the design of temporary works.


“Design soil and rock pressures behind Retaining Walls”Dr. Andrew Smith

Structural engineers designing retainingwalls for basements need to be able toassess the pressures exerted on the wallsby the ground that they are retaining.The presentation will use simple soil androck mechanics theory and the results ofsome analyses from the ICD Brookfieldproject to illustrate how rationalassessments of horizontal groundpressures may be made.

“Lessons learnt from deep excavations in Dutch historic cities”Dr. Mandy Korff

Several case histories from Dutchunderground deep excavation projectsare presented in this lecture, includingthe lessons learned and the learningprocesses involved. Details are given onthe analysis of about 50 deep excavationsin The Netherlands, for which a claimsituation has arisen between 1995 and2012. Three cases are evaluated in moredetail. In these detailed cases ofunderground construction projectssystematic learning took place.
