Geotechnical Behavior and Soil-Fiber Interaction of Clayey Soil Mixed with Randomly Dispersed Coconut Fibers

July 08, 2019
This study aims to experimentally analyze the influence of the addition of different amounts of short coconut fibers on the geotechnical properties of tropical clay soil. Samples with 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 wt% of fiber in regard to the dry weight of soil were analyzed. Compaction, direct shear, compressibility, hydraulic conductivity, scanning electron microscopy (SE...

Progressive Mapping and Urban Growth: The Construction of Urbanization Suitability Map of Pelotas-Southern Brazil

July 08, 2019
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...

One-Dimensional Consolidation Considering Viscous Soil Behaviour and Water Compressibility - Viscoconsolidation

March 07, 2018

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...
