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

千禧塔故事是一个引人入胜岩土案例研究。

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

土壤有点奇怪，但别告诉岩土师。

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两主要数值方法。

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

Edenville大坝建于20世纪20年代，当时我们目前对岩土和现代大坝安全标解还不存在。

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原因。

Structural engineering, land development, hydrology, municipal water services, you got geotechnical, there's transportation, roads, bridges, all the infrastructure we use to get from A to B. There's also environmental, basically minimizing our impact on the environment.

结构、土地开发、水文、市政供水服务，还有岩土、交通运输、道路、桥梁，这些都是我们用于从A地到B地所有基础设施。此外还有环境，主要目是尽量减少我们对环境影响。
