GEOTECHNICAL UNCERTAINTIES
In every construction project, ground behaviour has a major impact on the final structural design. For this reason, soil characterisation is crucial. Traditionally, soil parameters are characterised by laboratory and in-situ testing. However, a high degree
of uncertainty is associated to those tests. Currently, the industry tackles the problem by applying safety factors in structural engineering design. This procedure minimises risk but the geotechnical uncertainties (that can cause delays, malfunction
and failure) remain unchanged and the overall cost of the project increases due to over-dimension.

CONNECTING & ANALYZING DATA TO REDUCE GEOTECHNICAL UNCERTAINTY
DAARWIN overcomes the limitations of laboratory and in-situ testing by using historical data and real time backanalysis, a methodology that compares monitoring data (such as topography, inclinometers, sliding micrometers, piezometers etc.) to a digital twin (numerical models) to provide a more accurate representation of the real soil behavior, which helps in:
BE MORE SUSTAINABLE

advantages
(1) Currently the construction industry is responsible for more than 10%
of the global CO2 emissions and this must change.
(2) Efficiency and productivity in construction has grown an average of 1% a year over the past two decades, compared with the growth of 2.8%for the total economy.

DETERMINE THE
OPTIMAL DESIGN
Analyse multiple design options together with different ground parameter scenarios (from pessimistic, most probable to optimistic) to determine the optimal design option and the most influential geotechnical parameters.

MODELS VS. MONITORING
Compare your design with the monitoring data
to prove that the construction is performing
according to design.

OPTIMISE
YOUR MODELS
Calibrate your numerical models to predict the real ground behaviour to minimise construction material (less CO2 emissions), delays and accidents in your projects.
