Soils are kind of weird but don't  tell that to geotechnical engineers.

土壤有点奇怪，但不要告诉岩土。

The story of the Millennium Tower is a fascinating case study in geotechnical engineering.

千年塔的故事是岩土领域一个引人入胜的案例研究。

All these factors added up to a lot more settlement than was initially anticipated by the project's geotechnical engineers.

所有这些因素加起来导致的沉量比该项目岩土最初预期的要多得多。

The finite element method and the finite difference method are the two main numerical methods to analyze the geotechnical engineering problems.

有限元法和有限差分法是分析岩土问题的两种主要数值方法。

Edenville Dam was built in the 1920s before most  of our current understanding of geotechnical engineering and modern dam safety standards  existed.

伊登维尔大坝建于 20 年代，当时我们对岩土和现代大坝安全标准的大部分了解还没有出现。

However, the finite difference method seems to be more effective in the solution of the large deformation problems of geotechnical engineering, which is also the reason for choosing the finite difference method in this study.

然而，有限差分法在解决岩土的大变形问题方面似乎更有效，这也是本研究选择有限差分法的原因。

When the building was designed, the project geotechnical engineers predicted that it would settle 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) over the structure's entire lifetime, mainly from this layer of Old Bay Clay below the bottom of the piles.

在设计该建筑时， 项目岩土预测， 在该建筑的整个使用寿命期间， 它会沉 4 至 6 英寸（10 至 15 厘米），主要来自桩底部下方的这层老湾粘土。
