The use of a video and a small-scale model for rain-induced landslides in geotechnical engineering education

October 07, 2023

Small-scale physical models of geotechnical problems are thought-provoking didactic tools that motivate students by arousing their curiosity and facilitating the understanding of physical phenomena and theoretical concepts. This work presents the development of an educational video about slope stability failures and its contributing factors. It shows se...

Experimental analysis of improved bearing capacity in offshore foundations due to thermal consolidation

February 04, 2022

The anchoring of floating platforms is one of many processes in the oil industry that requires innovative strategies. In this respect, there is interest in developing techniques that improve the shear strength of soft soils in order to increase the bearing capacity of offshore foundations anchored in these soils. Normally consolidated clay soil is known...
