If we see GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING from a scientific point of view, we will find that GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING is majorly involved in defining the deformation properties and soil’s strength. Sand, rock, silt, clay, and snow are some of the very important elements of Geotechnics. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING covers specialist fields such as rock and soil mechanics, hydrogeology, geophysics and, geology as an associated discipline. Engineering geology and GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING are the branches of civil engineering. This field of study involves using principles of engineering and scientific methods to interpret and collect physical properties of ground for use in construction and building. Its practical application for example is foundation engineering which has come to be in need of a scientific approach. The term Geotechnics is used to describe both the practical application and the theoretical application of the discipline.

The behavior of soil beneath the influence of soil water interactions and loading forces also comes under the study of GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING who is guided by GEOTECH ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS. This knowledge s applied to the earth dams, design of retaining walls, clay liners, Geosynthetics, and foundation for waste containment. The goals could range from the designs of temporary excavation support and foundations. The idea of Geotechnical engineers is to increase important areas of groundwater contamination and landfill disposal of wastage excavation of highways and railways. The Geotechnical engineers are also involved in laboratory and in field investigations determining the properties of subsequent use of Geomaterials and site soil in the analytical study of in-hand problems. Computer advances recent computational and are enhancing our ability to predict the soil-water systems and soil behaviour under a wide variety of conditions. In recent years, Geoenvironmental engineering has also gotten involved in the activities of geotechnical engineers. For the clean-up of groundwater and contaminated soil Geoenvironmental engineers have designed strategies and developed a system of management for the contaminated sites. Employment opportunities include engineering and geotechnical consultants, governmental agencies, public utilities, environmental agencies, resource industry companies, and specialized contractors. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING is also defined as using the earth material like rock and soil for defending and improving the lives of our society, it is also a sub-dialect of civil engineering which thousands of students go for each year. In the last 100 years, GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING was largely based on careful reflection and observation and also it was empirical. In the past decades, scientists have accomplished some unbelievable scientific achievements in civil engineering. These achievements started around the post-World War II era and are going on even today with a high performance of data visualization, advanced soil testing, computers, and sensors

Hybrid Subsea CCS System-CO2 Storage in Offshore Ultra Deep-Water Salt Caverns

Abstract

Computational geomechanics is the field of computational mechanics where geo-engineering systems are analyzed using the prinCurrently there is a demand for CCS of large quantities of CO2 associated with CH4 in the pre-salt offshore oil fields in Brazil. The pre-salt reservoirs have as caprock 2000 meters of continuous rock salt. Rock salt is a special geomaterial. It has negligible permeability and porosity, is able to support very high stresses, develops the self-healing effect, fractures will heal only with time and a good geomechanical project can design very large openings in the salt body. In Brazil the rock mechanics and computing modeling related to underground excavations in salt rock started in the years 1970´s with very complex challenges, starting with the project of an underground mining of sylvinite (potash ore) overlying tachyhydrite, a very weak salt rock, solving the challenges of the solution mining of salt caverns, for brine production, in bedded stratified halite with intercalations of shales, development of special geomechanical projects of oil wells for drilling through very thick stratified salt rock barrier and finally the application of salt caverns opened by solution mining for natural gas storage and CCS of CO2. Salt caverns onshore, opened by solution mining have been used since the years 1950´s to store hydrocarbons and contaminants. A good example of a very large underground storage is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in the United States, storing since 1974 around 800 million barrels of crude oil. Today there are more than 4000 caverns opened by solution mining for the storage of oil and gas. This article introduces a new concept called the Hybrid Subsea CCS System, which performs all the offshore CO2 separation process with subsequent storage in underground salt caverns offshore. Today much is said on the concept of “Subsea Factory” in the global oil industry, which is every day closer to become a reality. Many operators have been applying high R&D investments in bringing down to the sea floor equipment from the deck of the production platforms like: multiphase pumps, oil separators, electrical transformers, gas compressors, among other pieces of equipment, reducing the size of the floating platforms and in some sites, becomes the only solution available due to the water depth, which cause a great limitation in the elevation of the hydrocarbon through conventional and even with non-conventional riser systems. The main challenge of doing a complete Subsea “factory” or develop the “Subsea CCS System” is the storage. Shell, USP (University of São Paulo) and FAPESP (Sao Paulo Research Foundation) are developing a R&D project of a hybrid system using partially the subsea factory technology with the high structural performance of salt rock caverns, opened by solution mining, in ultra-deep water. This hybrid system is expected to do at the same time the separation between the natural gas and CO2, Carbon Capture and Storage of CO2 and allowing the monetization of the separated natural gas. This paper describes the conceptual design of this hybrid system showing the steps from the drilling phase of the wells, the process of opening the salt caverns by solution mining, the subsea equipment required, the basic logistic system to servo control this equipment and the geomechanical project of salt caverns to store Natural Gas and CO2 in salt domes in ultra-deep water.

Stress-strain Idealization

Plasticity was originally developed for modeling the behavior of a wide variety of metals, which are pressure-insensitive and incompressible.

The traditional plastic materials were assumed to satisfy associated flow rule or normality law during plastic deformation, which is not true for geomaterials, such as soil and rocks.

UTA researcher to use grant to employ better ways to bolster embankments, soil

New Post has been published on http://www.deepgreenfutures.com/2018/11/16/uta-researcher-grant/

UTA researcher to use grant to employ better ways to bolster embankments, soil

Stronger highways

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON

A UTA civil engineering soil researcher is using multiple-year, $600,000 grant funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation regional center and the Texas Department of Transportation that will employ geopolymers for soil modification and sustainable cement materials to strengthen highway embankments in the Paris, Texas, district.

Anand Puppala, civil engineering professor and the associate dean for research in The University of Texas at Arlington’s College of Engineering, is the lead investigator on the project. Funding is from the Louisiana State University-led Transportation Consortium of South-Central States, a University Transportation Center that was created in late 2016 through $300 million in U.S. Department of Transportation funding.

“Geopolymers and the cementitious material leave a low carbon footprint, making it attractive environmentally,” Puppala said. “We use waste and convert that into cementitious material. It cuts down on the amount of lime and cement normally used. It replaces those materials with the geopolymers, which are like an ash material.”

Puppala said the second part of the project involves using lime treatment on slopes to stop cracks in the soil.

“That will be done at the field sites using 18- to 24-inch thick treated soil design models,” Puppala said. “This is similar to what we did with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to help stabilize some of the North Texas dams a few years ago. Currently we are designing a slope treatment for the Paris district using advanced geomaterial testing and modeling.”

Puppala said the projects are receiving strong collaboration through Texas A&M University and LSU, and are supporting three doctoral students and two postdoctoral researchers.

LSU’s Navid Jafari, an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is contributing on the slope studies portion of the project.

Sayantan Chakraborty, a UTA post-doctoral student, and UTA doctoral student Burak Boluk also are assisting with the slope studies portion of the project. Surya Sarat Chandra Congress, a UTA doctoral student, is providing the unmanned aerial vehicle data collection part of the slope stabilization project.

Miladin Radovic, professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Texas A&M University and director of TAMU’s Materials Characterization Facility, is a collaborating partner on the geopolymers project.

Aritra Banerjee, a UTA civil engineering adjunct professor and research scientist at The UTA Research Institute, will play a major part in the project. UTA doctoral student Rinu Ann Samuel also is contributing.

“The geopolymer we’re using is a silica similar to sand,” Banerjee said. “It came about in the 1950s but we’ve perfected the process to synthesize and create it. We anticipate more applications and research works in this field.”

Puppala’s projects are a prime example of building sustainable urban communities, a theme of the university’s Strategic Plan 2020: Bold Solutions | Global Impact.

Engineering Dean Peter Crouch said Puppala is a consummate researcher.

“Dr. Puppala has built up a great many important relationships with governmental state agencies in Texas, and is able to leverage this toward the buildup of UTA’s great depth of expertise in civil infrastructure,” Crouch said. “It seems like everything he does will have a long-lasting beneficial effect on Texas.”
