Residual Shear Strength of a Residual Soil of Granulite

February 14, 2020

This paper discusses the residual shear strength of a granulite residual soil that was involved in a large landslide in Brazil. The residual strength was investigated because of the great mobility achieved by the soil after failure. The experimental program comprised physical and mineralogical characterization and residual shear strength measurements. D...

Relationship Between Shear Wave Velocity and Piezocone Penetration Tests on the Brazilian Continental Margin

May 12, 2020

A detailed characterization of the shear wave velocity profile is an essential tool in the resolution of a variety of seismological and geotechnical engineering problems. The main objective of this study is to present equations capable of providing reliable shear wave velocity profile estimations based on CPTu parameters. The results of a series of pion...

Geogrid Mechanical Damage Caused by Recycled Construction and Demolition Waste (RCDW): Influence of Grain Size Distribution

April 06, 2020
Recent studies have shown that recycled construction and demolition waste (RCDW) can be used as backfill material in geosynthetics reinforced soil (GRS) structures. However, besides the environmental and economic benefits of this practice, it is necessary to evaluate the mechanical damages that RCDW could cause to the reinforcement elements. This study aims to i...
