Coastal zones are of great interest in civil engineering due to their economic relevance and active geological dynamics. In Brazil, the development of these regions is related to the use of their geomorphological features in the landscape, among which the cliffs stand out. Although there are studies that consider the influence of the wetting front in st...
View ArticleDynamic soil parameters such as the shear modulus suffer degradation while damping in soil increases under dynamic loading. These can be determined from various tests such as element tests, field tests and centrifuge experiments. Most of the studies about dynamic soil characterization have focused on evaluating these parameters assuming horizontal groun...
View ArticleIn Brazil, landslides are frequent, causing deaths and property damage, and occur under the influence of natural and/or anthropic conditions. Rain acts as the main non-anthropic agent in triggering this phenomenon. Because of this, the prediction of landslides becomes an essential tool for managing high-risk areas. The Metropolitan Region of Recife (MRR...
View ArticleThis paper presents a scoping review on the use of digital technologies for predicting, mapping, or continuously monitoring landslides on natural slopes. Articles and reviews published between 2001 and 2023 indexed by Scopus (Elsevier) were selected. The results showed that the number of publications involving this theme has been growing every year, wit...
