The flat dilatometer test (DMT) has been used as an accurate in situ site investigation tool for foundation settlement prediction. However, few investigations have assessed its performance in settlement prediction in unusual ...

Smart grids are becoming increasingly closer to consumers, especially residential consumers, bringing with them a wide range of possibilities. The level of information obtained on a smart grid will be much higher when ...

The increase of electricity demand in Brazil, the lack of the next major hydroelectric reservoirs implementation, and the growth of environmental concerns lead utilities to seek an improved system planning to meet these ...

This paper presents a proposed Newton decoupled method modification (simultaneous resolution algorithm and alternate) with the addition of an equation line passing through of a point in the plane determined by the variables: ...

Several methods for prediction of the load-settlement curves of shallow foundations have been proposed based on in-situ testing data. However, the good accuracy of such prediction depends on the definition of appropriate ...
