Is 2D modelling still relevant in today's geotechnical landscape?

Daniel Wai and Dr. Joe Carvalho explore if 3D modelling offers a concrete advantage over traditional 2D methods, or if the latter still has its place.

Dr. Evert Hoek, a visionary who shaped the future of rock engineering, made a lasting impact on Rocscience and the geotechnical field. Dan speaks with Dr. Brent Corkum and Dr. Reginald Hammah, two gentlemen who worked closely with Dr. Hoek, as they share how his innovative ideas and dedication inspired some of Rocscience’s leading software and features. Known for his humility and practical approach, Dr. Hoek’s influence continues to guide and inspire, leaving a legacy that truly transformed the field.

The Rocscience 'power couple' Dr. John Curran and Evelyn Cunningham join Dan in the studio to reminisce about their incredible journey from the Rock Engineering Group at the University of Toronto to becoming a global leader in geotechnical software solutions. Hear the inspiring behind-the-scenes stories of building the Rocscience brand, filled with challenges, innovation, and passion.

Join Dan in the studio as he chats with Steve Chai, Dr. Sina Javankhoshdel, Angela Li, and Riana McBride about RSInsight - the latest AI-powered support for geotechnical practitioners. They’ll share their thoughts on how AI is changing the industry and whether it poses a threat to our jobs.
