Organized by MACOLD (Macedonian Commission on Large Dams) Skopje from 06.04.2025 to 12.04.2025, a visit to large dams in the Republic of Turkey was organized, in which experts from Geohydroconsulting also participated. A dozen rock-fill and concrete dams were visited. Some of the dams were under construction, but already constructed dams in operation were also visited. During the visit, the colleagues were introduced to the technical characteristics of the dams in Turkey, the conditions for their construction, the challenges in construction, use and management of water resources.
Read MoreThe Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) is a standardized method based on their engineering properties and grain-size distribution of the soil. USCS categorizes soils into two main groups: coarse-grained soils (such as gravels and sands) and fine-grained soils (like silts and clays), each further divided into several subgroups based on their physical characteristics. USCS classification is crucial in geotechnical engineering for assessing soil behavior, determining foundation suitability, and guiding construction methods to ensure stability and function of structures built on or with soil materials. This soil classification provides a systematic framework that helps geotechnical engineers and geologists interpret soil properties effectively across various engineering applications
