Geotechnical data is often produced and managed by several producers in isolation, in their own formats and standards, which aim to meet the unique needs of specific users, because there is not a defined geospatial geotechnical data storage standard. This article presents the physical implementation of a three-dimensional geotechnical database, based on...
View ArticleThe use of granular column is one of the ground improvement methods used for soft soils. This method improves the foundation soils mechanical properties by displacing the soft soil with the compacted granular columns. The columns have high permeability that can accelerate the excess pore water pressure produced in soft soils and increase the undrained s...
View ArticleA geotechnical study based on characterization tests and seventy incremental loading onedimensional consolidation tests was carried out on high-quality undisturbed samples taken from Santos Harbor Channel subsoil near to Barnabé Island, where a pilot embankment was built. The characterization profiles revealed a stratigraphy following the pat...
View ArticleThis study aims to experimentally analyze the effect of fiber length and fiber content on shear strength and deformation properties of fiber reinforced soil by consolidated-undrained triaxial shear tests. The best mechanical properties are presented by the samples with 1.0 % fiber content and 3.09 cm fiber length. The stress-strain relationship of fiber...
