The Value of Open Geotechnical Intelligence (OpenGTi)
Manage your knowledge:
Welcome to our platform dedicated to sharing knowledge in geotechnical engineering. Geotechnical
engineering encompasses both advanced numerical analyses using sophisticated soil constitutive models
and more practical tasks such as excavation and backfilling. This platform serves as a comprehensive
knowledge repository, offering young engineers easy access to both fundamental principles and advanced
concepts in this dynamic field. In some cases, Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have
also been applied to enhance analysis and design. I hope you discover something insightful and inspiring here.
About the Founder:
Since 2005, WaiLeung Ng has been on a journey through the world of geotechnical engineering, taking on projects ranging
from foundations and deep excavations to slope stability, ground improvement, and instrumentation.
Along the way, he has worked with design consultants, contractors, and government bodies, each giving him a
different perspective on the challenges faced in our industry. What drives him is a passion for turning
complex engineering theories into something practical and easy to understand — knowledge that young engineers
and practitioners can apply with confidence.
