This study analyzes the rockfall hazard at Portão do Inferno, located in Chapada dos Guimarães, Mato Grosso (MT), by applying a rockfall risk mapping methodology and its implications for infrastructure work and safety. The objective of the work was to identify areas susceptible to rockfalls and assess the associated risks, consider...

In recent years, Brazil has experienced a growing frequency of natural disasters, particularly those triggered by intense rainfall and unregulated urban expansion in geotechnically vulnerable areas. This scenario highlights the urgent need for educational and participatory strategies aimed at disaster risk reduction and the promotion of resilient commun...

The railroad was built along a steep region, with hundreds of slopes, and eventually slope instabilities compromised the tour. In linear infrastructure projects, a ri...

This work presents a geological-geotechnical risk map of gravitational mass movements and a susceptibility map to shallow translational slides to Vila Nova community, located in the municipality of Colombo, Brazil. The first map was created through a qualitative mapping methodology and the second one was elaborated using a deterministic method of slope ...
