Digitisation is rapidly transforming the geotechnical engineering profession and many students and practicing engineers are learning new skills to cope with the challenges that lie ahead. Python is the language of choice for many engineers due to its intuitive syntax, rich ecosystem of high-quality packages and interface to other engineering […]
Geotechnical calculations are often semi-empirical algorithms where geotechnical data and subject matter expertise are combined to arrive at an estimate of foundation capacity, stiffness or installation behaviour. Implementing geotechnical calculation algorithms is a process which is often repeated by several engineers, resulting in differences in the final outcome. Programming errors […]
Data science techniques are rapidly transforming businesses in a broad range of sectors. While marketing and social applications have received most attention to date, geotechnical engineering can also benefit from data science tools which are now readily available. There is a lot of buzz around machine learning and AI. Some […]
Welcome to my blog. I will post about Python in civil engineering. I have been a fan of Python ever since I first used it in 2008. Game-changing Python libraries have emerged in numerical computations, data science and data visualisation. Civil engineering is a great field of application for all […]
