New Case Study: The Levee Digital Twin Platform
EZ Digital Twins
04 Sep 2026
Aerial imagery in one program. LiDAR in another. Subsurface surveys in a third. Boreholes in a spreadsheet. Our new case study documents the Levee Digital Twin Platform: seven-plus data types across two sites on California's Yuba River corridor, brought into a single live model where every layer shares the same coordinate frame.

PLAXIS 3D Study Finds Winged Piles Can Cut Uplift Settlement by Up to 95% in Sandy Soil
Seequent, The Bentley Subsurface Company PLAXIS
14 Aug 2026
A PLAXIS 3D numerical study of under-reamed 'winged' piles in sandy soil has found that adding a wing near the pile tip can cut uplift-induced settlement by up to 95% compared with a conventional straight-shaft pile at the same applied load.

Geotechnical Engineering is a very technical discipline which uses a number of English language words with unusual meanings which are unique to geotechnical engineering. Drained and saturated are two very common examples. I think it would be beneficial to have an AI trained on geotechnical language, and the ISSMGE either has, or has access to, a huge range of conference and journal papers which should make an excellent LLM. Is this something that ISSMGE could and should do?

Explore the Levee Digital Twin platform in this walkthrough video, developed by EZ Digital Twins. The video demonstrates how the platform presents levee infrastructure in an interactive digital environment, helping users explore the site, understand its layout, and communicate complex asset information more clearly. By bringing levee infrastructure into a digital twin environment, the platform can support remote site understanding, planning, collaboration, training, and stakeholder engagement. Watch the platform walkthrough:

Simplified Worked Example: Internal Stability of a Reinforced Soil Wall
Geoengineer.org Geosynthetics
17 Sep 2026
This example demonstrates two basic internal checks for a 6.0 m high geogrid-reinforced soil wall: tensile rupture and reinforcement pullout. It is intentionally simplified, uses level granular backfill, and does not represent a complete design.

Python Automation & Optimization in PLAXIS 3D
Geoengineer.org Course
17 Sep 2026
This 16-hour live course (Oct 24-27, 2026) is built to bridge Python programming with real PLAXIS 3D practice - turning automation into an engineering decision-support tool, not just a way to run models faster. Includes an official Bentley Systems certificate and an individual PLAXIS Ultimate licence during the course.
