I was in a conversation about getting people into geoscience as more and more programs close across the world, and I have a hypothesis that most people in geology now were either able to travel, or experience different landscapes as they grew up.

Unraveling the Growth Potential of the Geofoams Market: Global Outlook

The global geofoams market size is expected to reach USD 972.6 million by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 2.7%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Factors such as availability of geofoams at low cost coupled with its superior strength and durability are projected to fuel the market growth. Expansion of the construction industry across the globe coupled with the infrastructural developments in economies such as India, China, Brazil, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and others is expected to propel the demand for geofoams over the forecast period. In addition, maintenance of the existing infrastructure in developed nations is likely to drive the growth of the market.

Geofoams Market Report Highlights

The expanded polystyrene geofoams segment accounted for USD 508.2 million in 2019 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 3.1% from 2020 to 2027. The compatibility of the product has resulted in its increasing adoption for applications including roads and highway construction, building and infrastructure, and others

The road and highway construction application segment accounted for 38.07% of the total market and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2020 to 2027 on account of the rising infrastructural growth across the developing economies including China, India, Brazil, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and others

Asia-Pacific accounted for USD 278.5 million in 2019 and is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2020 to 2027 owing to the rising demand for road pavement, which is anticipated to further benefit the growth

China accounted for the highest market share in Asia Pacific on account of the rapidly expanding construction industry in the country

Europe market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 2.8% owing to the rising number of construction and infrastructural activities in economies including Spain, Italy, and others

Geofoams are increasingly used in the construction industry as it helps in suppressing the noise and vibrations. In addition, it is easy to handle and does not require any special equipment for installation. The product is increasingly used in the railway track systems, below the refrigerated storage buildings, storage tanks, and others to avoid ground freezing.

The geofoams undergo chemical changes when it comes in contact with petroleum solvents. It turns into a glue-type substance, thereby losing its strength. This factor is projected to limit the use of geofoams in the construction industry which is projected to restrict the industry growth over the forecast period.

(CE Nov 2023) A cohesive soil sample was taken from an SPT and taken to the laboratory in a glass jar. It was found to weigh 145 grams. The sample was then placed in a container having a volume V=500 cu. cm. and 420 cu. cm of water were added to fill the container. Evaluate the unit weight of the soil in kN/cu. m.

Details of Earth Pressure: Understanding the Forces at Work

When it comes to civil engineering and construction, understanding the behaviour of soil and the forces exerted by it is crucial. Earth pressure is one such fundamental concept that engineers must comprehend to ensure the stability and safety of structures built on or in contact with the ground. This article explores the details of earth pressure, shedding light on the different types, factors…

To the best of my understanding (I'm no harbormaster, but I vaguely remember some hydraulic engineering classes from college, and I just now discovered CoastalWiki.org): wharves, quays, jetties, and piers are all used for unloading ships. A similar structure not used for unloading ships (and thus usually not walkable on top), but rather to control coastal erosion and/or partially enclose and protect a harbor, would be a breakwater.

You're probably familiar with the idea of a seawall, which is a type of breakwater that is typically built parallel to a shoreline, right at the land-water interface, or possibly above a beach. They're typically constructed of stone or concrete blocks, poured concrete, interlocking concrete blocks such as tetrapods, riprap, sandbags, gabions, etc.

A groyne is a type of breakwater that typically extends straight out from shore, and is often but not always constructed of wood.

A mole is another type of breakwater that can extend straight out from shore, but can also curve around to parallel the shoreline. A mole is typically constructed of fill.

In case you’ve ever been confused which is which.

TIL: the difference between a wharf, a pier, a jetty and a quay (reading about the history of the port of San Francisco on a Friday night).

Re: D20 vs your geotechnical engineering classes

First, please feel free to ignore this completely, fully admit that I’m being randomly nosy—but your notes in that post have me desperately curious! What information could the soil club dude have gained if he’d left the sample intact instead of snorting it?

In a D&D setting, realistically very little 😅 (I may have taken an edible before watching sooo)

In actual geotech studies you'd be very interested in things like void ratio, consolidation factor, uniformity, aka how the soil sits below grade. This would translate to how usable it is for the base of construction.

It probably isn't very useful as crime scene information, but we had whole lectures on the best ways not to disturb soil structure when taking a sample
