Applied research in geostructural engineering from NGRI
Alternative Delivery Contracts: Observations and Industry Impacts
Conrad W. Felice (May 2026)
Are alternative project delivery methods actually working for underground infrastructure? These slides examine the hidden risks, cost overruns, and contracting challenges behind the growing shift away from traditional Design-Bid-Build.
Geotechnical Engineering in the Information Age
Gyeol Han & J. Carlos Santamarina (May 2026)
Discover how geotechnical engineering is evolving in a data-rich landscape driven by the convergence of sensors, IT, and AI. This white paper captures NGRI's approach to this transition. It challenges the blind adoption of data-driven models, offering a blueprint for next-generation geostructural systems that integrate technology with physical intuition.
