Micropile is a friction pile that can be both drilled and grouted and have a small diameter. The steel elements in a pile are bonded into the bearing rock or soil with cement grout’s help. These piles can be quickly installed in various kinds of ground with the use of drilling equipment. The micropile application…
Self-drilling anchors are the advanced type of fully threaded hollow steel tube rods. SDA is a fully threaded rod with an inner and outer diameter hollow steel tube. It is provided with a sacrificial drill bit at the end to facilitate the drilling process, coupler to join two SDA bars, screw nut, base plate, etc.…
Introduction The Border Roads Organization (BRO) works for the development of road network infrastructure in India’s border areas. After the formation of BRO on 7 May 1960, the organization is responsible for protecting and developing the border roads in the north and northeastern regions. Atal (Rohtang) Tunnel is a highway tunnel constructed under the mentorship…
Failure of rock or soil slopes takes place due to natural or artificial means. Natural events include failure due to flash flood, excessive seepage, pore pressure, seismic event, presence of weak discontinuities across the rock slope, shear zones, toe cutting of slope by meandering river leading to unstable slope due to change in slope geometry.…
Ground Anchors are the structural members that are installed deep into the rock mass with their main applicability to transfer the applied tension load deep into ground/rock mass. Sometimes, also referred to as tieback anchors. The main component of the ground tieback anchor is shown in figure 1. The anchorage is the combined system of…

Location: KapKot Village in Bageshwar, Uttarakhand Brief of the Problem: Destabilization of the slope material The geological profile of this region faces serious slope stability related problems that are mainly attributed to an active and diverse tectonic setting, high rates of weathering, excessive rainfall, erosion vulnerability, and steep slope cuttings. Kapkot Formation is dominantly represented…
The world has no shortage of engineers, but it does need people who specialize in certain areas of engineering. ‘Geoprofessions’ refer to the engineering disciplines that relate to the Earth and the environmental services applied to it. Here we are discussing four engineering branches that relate to geotechnical engineering and information about how they can be used: Environmental…
