Challenge: Inaccessible and Scattered Technical Information
Sometimes it’s a struggle to find precise and reliable information for determining soil parameters and design methodologies. It’s time-consuming and inefficient to sift through textbooks and various online sources.
Solution: The Geopier+ geotechnical modules centralize essential geotechnical information and provide user-friendly references for various soil parameters. These industry-standard resources provide easily accessible, accurate and vetted information.
Challenge: Complex Design and Calculation Requirements
Designing effective ground improvement solutions requires precise calculations and a deep understanding of soil behavior and engineering principles. As a geotechnical engineer, you need reliable tools to aid you in your work.
Solution: Geopier+ offers advanced tools and resources that simplify these complex processes. The Geopier+ Ground Improvement module assists engineers in estimating an allowable bearing capacity for sites incorporating Geopier ground improvement. The Geopier Resources module provides instant access to system information, applications, specifications, sample geotechnical report language, webinars, and much more.
Challenge: Integration and Compatibility Issues
You know first-hand that integrating new tools and software into existing workflows can lead to inefficiencies and opens up potential for errors, and collaborating with diverse teams can be cumbersome.
Solution: The Geopier+ tools and content are integrated with the Tensar+ platform, providing a unified experience to design with Tensar and Geopier, all in one place. The Geotechnical modules include calculators and guides for determining Terzaghi Bearing pressure, consolidation parameters, footing stresses and Rankine Earth pressure coefficients, as well as typical design parameter values for each. The GeoProfile module offers you the ability to quickly and easily plot field and laboratory soil data with depth for quick review and analysis.
Within Tensar+ software, many different designs can be grouped together within a project, and projects can be shared with groups of individuals across multiple companies, with just a few clicks.
Geopier+ is one of the many ways that Geopier delivers practical solutions to everyday challenges faced by engineers. By streamlining access to crucial information, simplifying complex calculations, and ensuring seamless integration, Geopier+ within the Tensar+ software empowers you to deliver reliable design and efficient ground improvement solutions.
