Landslide Susceptibility Mapping of Highway Slopes, Using Stability Analyses and GIS Methods

January 29, 2020
The study presented in this paper aims to map landslide susceptibility on highway slopes and adjacent areas, using an approach based on stability analysis with deterministic methods considering semi-regional and detail work scales. The infinite slope method in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment and a 1:10,000 scale topographic base (elevation inte...

Numerical Investigations on Seismic Bearing Capacity of Interfering Strip Footings

April 30, 2020
The interaction between footings placed at close proximity affects the ultimate bearing capacity, settlement, and tilt of adjacent footings, especially under seismic loading. This paper reports the numerical finite element analysis to investigate the interference effect on the seismic bearing capacity of closely spaced rigid strip footings for a wide range of fo...

Pullout Testing of Soil Nails in Gneissic Residual Soil

October 01, 2019
Soil nailing has proved to be an efficient and cost-effective stabilization technique, consisting in installing passive reinforcement in the soil that provides the material with tensile and shear strengths. The fundamental parameter in analyzing the mechanical behavior of this type of structure is the frictional resistance of the soil-nail interface, denominated...

Drained and Undrained Behavior of an Aeolian Sand from Natal, Brazil

March 11, 2020

The behavior of sands subjected to diverse loading conditions has been the object of many studies in recent decades. Constitutive models that are able to simulate the behavior of sands have been developed based on critical state theory. Researchers have shown that the defining parameters of the critical state line (CSL) can be obtained by performing dra...
