Because of the basic anisotropic nature of
soil and rock, geotechnical engineering is
part science and part art. Understanding the
behavior of soil, when placed under
structural loads is critical to foundation
design.
MMTGC employees utilize subsurface investigations, laboratory testing and
computer analysis to develop design
criteria. Field observations and testing
during construction allows us to confirm and
modify our design criteria based on actual
conditions encountered during construction. |
