Heterogeneity Evaluation of Soil Engineering Properties Based on Kriging Interpolation Method. Case Study: North East of Iran, West of Mashhad

May 16, 2018
Many sciences are confronted with uncertainty in their application field. Therefore, the use of statistics plays an important role for creating a partial model of the whole in most practical cases. Preparing a dispersion map, merging spatial statistics and geographic information systems (GIS), is very useful in geotechnical engineering. Interpolation is one of t...

A Case History with Combined Physical and Vacuum Preloading in Colombia

May 16, 2018
The scope of this paper is the back analysis of soft soil treatment case studies in which prefabricated vertical drains together with physical and vacuum surcharge were applied. Initially, the vacuum surcharge systems in vertical drains used worldwide are reviewed. The radial consolidation theory specifically developed for vacuum and physical surcharges is prese...

Laboratory Parameters of a Soft Soil Deposit in Macaé, Brazil

January 31, 2018

This article presents the geotechnical parameters from a laboratory investigation of a Quaternary sedimentary deposit located in a low-lying area of Macaé, Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Brazil, and, when possible, compares these parameters with those from field tests and other Brazilian studies on soft soils. The deposit is described in terms of its g...

A Contingency Solution using Jet Grouting Barrier for a Dam under Risk of Piping in Brazil

January 31, 2018

During routine inspection works in 2006 inspectors found resurgences of water at the toe of a small embankment dam named ″Ribeirão do Gama″, located at Brasí­lia – DF. After technical visits, geotechnical engineers characterized these groundwater leakages as a piping process at an early stage. ...
