Estimating
ground deformation properties for projects in urban areas from laboratory tests
– a personal perspective
Dr Minh A Nguyen
Atkins Geotechnics, formerly Imperial College London
Developments of tall buildings and
underground structures in urban areas put a lot of challenges to geotechnical
engineers, particularly in the need to restrict the ground movements that may
create detrimental effects to adjacent existing properties. Such need asks for
more considerations being given to the Serviceability Limit State condition,
and it in turn requires special attentions prior to the start of the design
process. These attentions include, but not limited to, a clear understanding of
objectives and a good communication channel between the Design Consultant with
the Site Investigation Consultant.
This presentation will describe how soil sampling and
laboratory testing being used to estimate the ground deformation
characteristics and will be illustrated with some case histories in the UK.
About the speaker:
Dr. Minh Nguyen becomes a
geotechnical consultant in the UK after completing his research at Imperial
College London. Between 1995 and 2002, he worked with several major
infrastructure development projects in Vietnam. In 2008, he received the Bishop
Medal (Geotechnical Research Award) from the Institution of Civil Engineer for
his contribution to the advanced characterisation study of London Clay at
Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 project (see Hight et al, 2007). He is also a Reviewer
for the ICE Geotechnical Engineering Journal and Visiting Lecturer for the PME-GME
professional Master course organised by the Asian Institute of Technology in
Vietnam.
