Erosion is the most harmful form of soil degradation, it affects plants’ productivity and causes severe environmental damage, such as sediment accumulation and pollution of water sources. With the purpose of obtaining significant information about losses and soil deposition on the Rio das Ondas basin, a study of the losses caused by erosion by...
View ArticleThe subject of this paper is the application of a morphological classification of MSW in the city of Rio de Janeiro based on the German recommendation DGGT (1994) – E 1-7 GDA.

View ArticleThis paper describes the Index and compression properties of Rio de Janeiro sedimentary clays properties and behaviour of ten deposits of soft to medium clays, situated in industrialized and residential areas of Rio de Janeiro City and Rio de Janeiro State. The data reported in this paper is a summary of the geotechnical properties obtained from laborat...
View ArticleThis paper summarizes the yield and strength behaviour of clays studied in the State of Rio de Janeiro in the last forty years, with emphasis on the role of the clay structure on strength and yield. The undrained strength normalised by the overconsolidation stress is analyzed against the plasticity index IP. Values of the clay friction angle φ&a...
