In this work, the problem of consolidation of two layers is discussed and analytical solutions for the specific case of Luscher’s problems are developed. Literature suggests that they are the first analytical solutions for problems that cannot be solved by the Gray-Barber closed form solutions for calculation of equivalent thickness. Luscher&a...

... View ArticleFollowing the kind invitation, it is for me a great honour and pleasure, on behalf of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, to welcome this new number of Soils & Rocks, in English version, edited by ABMS, ABGE and SPG. I would like to stress the very important role played by these Societies for the development...
View ArticleThe Shallow Stability Model (SHALSTAB) identifies shallow landslide susceptible areas, combining a steady state runoff model that estimates the topographically induced spatial variation in pore pressures with an infinite slope model for shallow landslides. Although the landslides present a strong topographic control, the variability of the soil properti...
