In this study, numerical modeling is used to evaluate the performance of rigid inclusion foundations for settlement control considering the characteristic soils of the city of BrasÃlia, Federal District, Brazil. Two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) PLAXIS software models were used considering the Hardening Soil constitutive model p...
View ArticleA root pile is an injected type of pile (cast-in-place with pressure, with very distinct construction aspects from the known micropile type). Those piles are installed by using distinct injection pressures up to 500 kPa during the mortar shaft formation. The executive control of root piles is usually carried out by static load tests, requiring a costly ...
View ArticleIncreased food production results in the development and application of agrochemicals to control weeds, which can affect agricultural production. Pesticides contaminate the environment and change soil and water quality. Therefore, to improve the understanding of the adsorption mechanism of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in aluminoferric red oxis...
View ArticleConstruction of underground structures may impose a hazardous effect on adjacent buildings due to ground movements caused by the construction of side support system and excavation. Most studies focus on predicting the soil movements due to excavation, however, limited research is performed to predict the effect of the construction process of the side su...
