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...

The aim of this paper is to draw attention to experimental evidence which may contribute to the understanding of the viscous behaviour of soft soils and, above all, present the equation for primary one-dimensional consolidation including the soil viscous resistance and the compressibility of water, with its analytical solution. Initially, a generic equa...

In embankment dams and dam foundations, internal erosion is the major cause of structural dam failures and incidents. Internal erosion develops locally along concentrated leaks or in the largest flow velocity zones, where the permeability is high, and at the interface between coarse and fine materials, where the flow velocity in coarse material maybe hi...
