Progressive Mapping and Urban Growth: The Construction of Urbanization Suitability Map of Pelotas-Southern Brazil

July 08, 2019
Significant portions of Brazilian city populations are subjected to an imbalance of environmental systems and geological and geotechnical risks. Such factors can only be properly addressed through planning and actions that take into account both the potential and limitations of the physical environment to urban land use. In this sense, geotechnical mapping plays...

Geotechnical Risk, Regulation, and Public Policy (Victor de Mello Lecture)

January 05, 2018

At this time, there is a crisis associated with concern over the safety of tailings dams and lack of trust in their design and performance. This crisis has resulted from recent high-profile failures of dams at locations with strong technical experience, conscientious operators, and established regulatory procedures. It is the primary intent of this Lect...

Porosity Changes of Compacted Soil Percolated with Acidic Leachate

October 02, 2018

This paper evaluates porosity changes in compacted soil subjected to acidic leachate percolation through different dry unit weights. The porosity of compacted soil is presented in different nominal porosities or dry unit weights (41.9% and 15.5 kN/m3, 43.8% and 15.0 kN/m³, and 45.7% and 14.5 kN/m³) percolated with a sulfuric acid solut...
