Hi,
I would like some help in identifying some of the real "brick walls" that have been found in geotechnical engineering (i.e. those topics or areas that have not been solved yet). Can you give me some ideas....I'm looking for about 10.
Thanks.

Some "brick walls" include:
1. The geostatic state of stress in the ground (all three
principle stresses). Currently, lateral stress is assumed
same in all directions. As prior ISSMGE President Mike
Jamiolkowski has said "The determination of Ko is still
one of the great black holes in geotechnical engineering".
2. Evaluation of the effective stress parameters (c' and
phi') in fine-grained soils directly from in-situ test
methods.
3. As much as we'd like not to admit it, the evaluation of
pile side friction (skin resistance) is still fairly poorly
understood. See, for example, Mike O'Neill's Terzaghi
Lecture in Jan 2001 issue of Journal of Geotechnical &
Geoenv. Engineering.

Paul

Dear Sir,
We,
www.msmacrosystem.nl
have recently developed advanced 3D software
specific for earth work estimation and
interactive measurement in 3D space.
We are looking for interested parties.
Please contact me if you are interested.
I can provide you with further information.
