The management and remediation of contaminated sites are strongly dependent on the diagnosis process during the site characterization program. A Conceptual Site Model (CSM) elaborated by use of high-resolution site characterization (HRSC) tools allows for a detailed diagnosis of geo-environmental issues. The piezocone (CPTu) test is a high-resolution to...
View ArticleFoundation engineering has continually sought to understand the behavior of piles subjected to loads and their influence on the overall structural behavior. Recently, more load tests are being performed in construction due to the recommendations of the NBR6122/2010 Brazilian code. The available literature offers few reports on pile behavior in a faulty ...
View ArticleUrban excavations are frequently performed using anchored retaining walls. Overall stability is an important stability verification in such walls and is significantly influenced by geometrical and mechanical characteristics of the wall, of the anchors and of the soil. In the present work, particular emphasis is given to the role of the embedded length i...
