What Slope Engineers Should Know: A Discussion of Cohesion (c) and Angle of Internal Friction (φ), Commonly Used on Construction Sites (Part 2)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. This is a continuation of my previous post. What Slope Engineers Should Know: A Discussion of Adhesion Coefficient c and Angle of Internal Friction φ, Commonly Used on Construction Sites (Part 1) I haven’t actually conducted every single test myself, but I’m writing this based on what I learned in school and my experiences observing tests in the lab…
What Slope Engineers Should Know: A Discussion of Cohesion (c) and Angle of Internal Friction (φ), Commonly Used on Construction Sites (Part 1)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. As I mentioned the other day, my phone’s contact list got wiped, so I don’t have most of your phone numbers anymore lol. It’s a bit of a hassle, but please feel free to send me a text or call me directly. Thank you for your understanding. But anyway… We…
Who knows that subcontractors are struggling because the paperwork leading up to construction is getting more and more complicated due to the management system?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you feel like the amount of paperwork on-site is actually decreasing? We have CCUS, Green Site, Buildy, and all sorts of other systems, right? So, what do you all think? Isn’t it just ending up creating more work? For example, if the general contractor is 1…
Basic Tests for Measuring Circumferential Friction Resistance (τ) in Ground Anchor Construction (Part 4): Soil Bearing Capacity
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, my flip phone broke, so I got a new one, but my contact list got wiped out lol. Because of that, I lost almost all my phone numbers. If you need to call me, it would really help if you could tell me your company name and your name whenever possible…
Rain from the mountains runs along the ridges, seeps into the bedrock, and lifts the deep bedrock.
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Did you all get to rest up during the three-day weekend? As usual, I’ve been busy with nothing but quotes and more quotes, lol. Well, that’s just my normal routine. I was planning to go for a run in the mountains this weekend, but it rained the day before. I found tracks like these along the mountain ridge. It rained…
Basic Tests for Measuring Circumferential Friction Resistance (τ) in Ground Anchor Construction (Part 3): Soil Bearing Capacity
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Basic Tests for Measuring Circumferential Friction Resistance (τ) in Ground Anchor Construction (Part 1) Basic Tests for Measuring Circumferential Friction Resistance (τ) in Ground Anchor Construction (Part 2): Bearing Capacity Since the last post, we’ve been moving away from the topic of circumferential friction. This time…
Basic Tests for Measuring Peripheral Friction Resistance (τ) in Ground Anchor Construction (Part 2): Bearing Capacity
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Basic Tests for Measuring Peripheral Friction Resistance (τ) in Ground Anchor Construction (Part 1) I was working on a simple calculation sheet for peripheral friction, but due to various circumstances, I wasn’t able to finish it in time, so this time I thought I’d write about soil bearing capacity and load-bearing plates…
Here Are 30 Reasons Why People Might Be Turning Away from Major General Contractors!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been thinking about why contractors tend to avoid working on projects for major general contractors. I’ve worked on plenty of major general contractor sites myself over the years. I’ve had my fair share of unpleasant experiences, lol. Of course, I’ve also had moments where I thought, “Wow, they really know their stuff.”…
Basic Tests for Measuring Circumferential Friction Resistance (τ) in Ground Anchor Construction (Part 1)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been planning a basic test for ground anchor construction for the past few days. This is my first time dealing with this kind of case, so I can’t conduct the test using standard anchor materials... lol The reason is that, first of all, the embedment length of the anchors we’ll actually be using…
