Circular Footing on Geocell-Reinforced Granular Residue from Precious Gem Processing over a Sand Bed

November 06, 2019
Geocell is a tridimensional confinement structure used for soil reinforcement, which significantly improves the performance of foundation systems. Aiming at a more sustainable engineering project and promoting a correct destination of a residual material, an alternative to fill the geocell is through the use of precious gem processing waste. The performance of g...

Evaluation of the accuracy of the cubic law for flow through fractures using Lattice Boltzmann method

July 29, 2020

In this study, a particle-based approach is employed to simulate the fluid flow through single fractures considering detailed geometrical characteristics of the fracture walls at meso-scale. For this purpose, Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) which is an efficient computational fluid dynamic method for simulation of fluid flow in media with grossly irregul...

Mass movements in the Northeast region of Brazil: a systematic review

July 29, 2020

Mass movements are one of the main causes of loss of people and environmental assets. Several factors contribute to mass movements, such as terrain morphology, rainfall regime, soil properties, land use and occupation. Studies showed that in the Northeast region of Brazil, between the years of 1991 and 2012, 38 events related to mass movements were reco...
