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. civil engineering, geotechnical, software engineer, geotechnical engineering, geotechnical engineering software

Solution

CONNECTING & ANALYZING DATA

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:

How it works

DAARWIN IS AN ONLINE TOOL

No installation required

1

EXPLORE AND USE HISTORICAL INFORMATION

Select and visualize, amongst a large number of boreholes and data points, existing geotechnical data within a chosen area to start managing your project with more reliable information of the ground.

3

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.

4

MODELS VS. MONITORING

Compare your design with the monitoring data

to prove that the construction is performing

according to design.

5

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.
