Soft Ground Improvement

Viet Nam is one of the country that has a very soft and complicated geological feature. Therefore, how to economize cost but satisfy the standard and technical requirements in designing by selecting an appropriate method in building especially projects constructed on soft ground is always needed to consider and research continuouslly. In this paper, a method how to determine the optimal depth of PVDs under vacuum loading condition for soft ground improvement is presented and applied to specific case in 861 provincial street, Ward Cai Be, Tien Giang District. The soft soil includes two layers with total 12m thick and is allowed to drain on the top and bottom faces (double drainage). The result shows that the optimal depth of PVDs is about 10,5m with the small error of 0,7%

Geological Feature

The geological feature which strikes the traveller in Iceland perhaps most forcibly is the complete contrast afforded by the well-ordered, level, or gently dipping basalt sheets with almost negligible tuff intercalations which constitute the Pre-glacial Kainozoic Plateau and the Late-glacial and Recent volcanic formations, and the enormous, chaotic, rarely-bedded accumulations of the Palagonite Formation in which lava flows are subordinate in amount; and he is at once presented with the question: Why did igneous action which produced lava sheets in Pre-glacial times result in dominant tuffs and breccias in the period which followed, and then revert to the production of lavas in later times ? This question has not yet been fully answered.

Writing from the Station Hospital at Ladysmith, Dr. Henry Exton, F.G.S., has communicated his observations on the geology of the country near Ladysmith, in the northern part of Natal, in letters to Professor T. Rupert Jones. A very noticeable geological feature is the prevalence of an igneous rock (intrusive andesitic diabase) on all the hills from Umbulwana, four miles east by south from Ladysmith, to the famed Spion Kop, sixteen miles west from here.

Looking Back

Looking back on the life of Alfred Russel Wallace in this, the centenary of his birth, it is right to think of him as the last survivor of a band of comrades to whom we owe that growth in evolutionary thought which is probably the chief intellectual characteristic of the nineteenth century. Lyell, inspired by Buckland at Oxford, started the movement in his “Principles of Geology,” of which Darwin said that it altered the whole tone of the reader’s mind, so much so indeed that he felt, when he looked on any new geological feature, that he was seeing it with Lyell's eyes rather than his own. Then, in the onward rush, influencing and being influenced as Lyell was by his disciple, were Hooker, Huxley and Wallace. Nor must mention be omitted of H. W. Bates, whose friendship early in life was the determining cause of Wallace’s journey to the tropics; nor of Herbert Spencer, a great power half a century ago, with his sonorous sentences and sublime infallibility. We remember how Darwin said that to read Spencer always made him feel like a worm, but that he retained the worm’s privilege of wriggling, and at another time, more incisively, “wonderfully clever, and I dare say mostly true.” And the story perhaps invented, but if so well invented, of Spencer’s reply to an argument— “That can’t be true, for otherwise ‘First Principles’ would have to be re-written— and the edition is stereotyped .”

Settlement Behaviour

The Lee Tunnel was constructed as the first part of the Thames Tideway Improvement scheme, between 2010 and 2016. With tunnelling for the East section of the main Thames Tideway Tunnel, which joins the Lee Tunnel at Abbey Mills Pumping Station, beginning in early 2020, this paper investigates patterns of deformation in East London during construction of the Lee Tunnel. An unexpected geological feature, later identified as a drift filled hollow, was discovered during tunnelling. This study demonstrates that had eight years of ERS Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) data been analysed prior to tunnelling, the unusual pattern of displacement may have been recognised and further targeted borehole investigations taken place before the launch of the tunnel boring machine. Results also show how areas of different land use, including cemeteries and historic landfill, exhibit differences in settlement behaviour, compared with surrounding terraced housing. This research highlights the challenges in interpreting PSI results in an urban area with ongoing construction and the value of a long archive of data, which now spans almost three decades in London, that can be used to establish a baseline prior to construction.
