This paper presents a parametric study on erodibility of soils which occurs in Southern Brazil. Different
methodologies were carried out and soils more vulnerable to these phenomena were identified. The research lays mainly on
erodibility criteria based on infiltrability tests, weight loss by immersion, direct shear tests and mod...
This work studied the transport phenomena in the soil of the Gramacho MSW landfill located in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil. A model was proposed to determine the mass transfer rate of the leachate contaminant ions to the soil particles.
Previous researchers have focused on the diffusion and sorption phenomena using simple relations tha...
The Brazilian road network is constructed in a highly heterogeneous geological environment and some stretches
cross through discontinuous rock masses that have uncertain or even ignored geotechnical characteristics. Rock slopes are
potentially unstable surfaces and as such are susceptible to rockfalls that affect the highway&...
The influence of soil drill rod length on the N value in the SPT-T test has been studied extensively by Mello (1971), Schmertmann & Palacios (1979), Odebrecht et al. (2002) and Cavalcante (2002). This paper presents an analysis of the Standard Penetration Test supplemented with torque measurement (SPT-T). A theoretical study of the resistance of...
