  • Determines the most appropriate ground improvement methods for the project in the light of soil survey data and performs the engineering designs of these methods.
  • Selects the most appropriate method for the site conditions among compaction, reinforcement, grouting or drainage techniques according to the soil survey results
  • Performs design calculations for stone column, jet grout, preloading and soil mixing methods
  • Controls the effectiveness and quality of soil improvement applications by using various field and geophysical test methods.
  • Interprets data from field tests such as SPT, CPT, pressuremeter and vane shear for ground control purposes.
  • Analyzes the dynamic properties and wave propagation velocities of the soil by means of seismic refraction and cross-hole seismic tests.
  • Evaluates the stability of improved soils through jet grout loading tests and quality control tests.
  • Conducts slope stability analyses based on limit equilibrium theories by examining the mechanics of mass movements and landslides.
  • Defines the geometric, hydrological and mechanical factors triggering mass movements such as fall, slide, spread, and flow on slopes
  • Analyzes slip surfaces and calculates the factor of safety with slice methods such as Swedish circle, ordinary method of slices, Bishop, and Morgenstern-Price.
  • Applies various structural measures and media property improvement techniques to ensure slope stability and eliminate failure risks.
  • Designs geometric and hydrological solutions such as benching, excavation-fill, and groundwater drainage to increase the stability of slopes.
  • Integrates structural support systems such as ground anchors, soil nails, rock bolts, and gabions into unstable slope surfaces.
  • Develops biotechnical media improvement solutions such as geogrid, geotextile, and afforestation for erosion control.
  • Evaluates seismic slope stability, liquefaction potential, and lateral spreading problems by examining the dynamic behavior of soils under earthquake loads.
  • Performs inertial seismic stability calculations using pseudo-static approach and Newmark analysis on slopes under earthquake effects.
  • Determines the liquefaction potential of soils under groundwater using cyclic stress and resistance ratios.
  • Models liquefaction-induced flow slides and lateral spreading deformations using empirical methods.
