Geotechnical Engineering Analysis and Design

GeoKinetics engineers are highly experienced in geotechnical engineering analysis and design, and are proud of their ability to provide practical solutions to complex problems using innovative and state-of-the-art techniques. GeoKinetics staff has provided geotechnical engineering analysis and design services on a wide spectrum of civil engineering projects, including transportation and utility corridors, large commercial and industrial developments, power plants, offshore and onshore pipelines, tunnels, subterranean pumping stations, landslides and slope stabilization measures, dams and reservoirs, and offshore facilities. GeoKinetics' capabilities in geotechnical engineering design and analysis include:

  • Pile foundation analysis and design, including determination and
    confirmation of axial and lateral load capacities;
  • Development and review of construction specifications
  • Construction permitting, observation, and testing as well as post
    construction performance monitoring;
  • Analysis and design of spread footing foundations;
  • Roadway and pavement design;
  • Evaluation of soil pressures on buried or retaining structures;
  • Design of shoring or tie-back retention systems;
  • Groundwater and contaminant transport modeling;
  • Groundwater extraction and de-watering operations;
  • Ground improvement/modification techniques and specifications;
  • Design and evaluation of earth retaining structures;
  • Two and three-dimensional slope stability analysis;
  • Liquefaction risk assessments and seismic stability analysis;
  • Evaluation of seismic induced settlements;
  • Earthquake ground motion response analysis;
  • Soil/structure interaction under static and dynamic loading conditions;
  • Design, analysis and instrumentation of earth dams and embankments;
  • Design and analysis of onshore tower and offshore platform foundations;
  • Vibration measurement and analysis; and others.
In addition to the extensive hands-on project experience acquired by our personal, GeoKinetics offers strong analytical capabilities. We have established a comprehensive library of analytical computer programs, ranging from conventional slope stability, settlement, and shoring-related routines, to a wide range of sophisticated linear and non-linear finite element and finite difference based computer programs for static and seismic soil/structure interaction analysis, static and dynamic response of deep and shallow foundations, embankments, or natural slopes, earthquake induced liquefaction potential and stability analysis, and time dependent responses of foundations or underground openings.
