This work is part of the review of methodological procedures for the analysis and classification of terrain susceptibility to shallow translational landslides, following the geo-hydro ecological approach. The pilot area is located in Nova Friburgo (RJ), specifically in the D’Antas Creek basin (53 km2). At this stage of t...
View ArticleThe Ramal Trem Turístico (RTT), a 17 km long railway between Ouro Preto and Mariana, a centenary line, currently in operation as a tourist attraction with historical importance. The railroad was built along a steep region, with hundreds of slopes, and eventually slope instabilities compromised the tour. In linear infrastructure projects, a ri...
View ArticleOil production in offshore regions involves the transportation of oil and gas in submarine pipelines, which are vulnerable to geological processes triggered by subsurface oil production like fault reactivation. The fault reactivation process can lead to phenomena that impact the seabed, like subsidence and fluid exudation, and can trigger instability of...
View ArticleIn this case study of a soil nail retaining wall, the measured horizontal displacement is of the order of 0.023% H, where H is the excavation depth, while the two-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis suggests horizontal displacements of the order of at least 0.5% H. This study aims to understand which parameters influence such displacements ...
