This research project seeks to improve soil properties through experimentation with geotechnical purposes. For this, will be used natural volcanic pozzolana in 5%, 10%, 15% and brick dust in 10% giving it a second reuse. ...

The cohesive character has been evaluated primarily in the field, where a pedologist is capable to recognize it rather easily. However, there is a problem of subjectivity and lack of metrics for characterization, so ...

A slope stability model is derived for an infinite slope subjected to unsaturated infiltration flow above a phreatic surface. Closed form steady state solutions are derived for the matric suction and degree of saturation ...

This research consists of analyzing three unsaturated soils. Cohesion values are determined from variations in saturation degrees of specimens with specify density. This cohesion values will be used to analyze the effect ...

Several researches have shown that vegetation plays a key roll in preventing displacements of soil masses, particularly of surficial displacement of slopes. Thus, tree roots provide a reinforcement system that depends on ...

The national and international demand for maps of soil properties has increased. The aim of this study was to characterize cohesive soils and associate their variability of particle size, chemical properties, and color to ...

This work aims to make a study of the soil-pile interaction in submerged environments. For the analysis we used the following conditions: two types of piles, concrete pile and composite pile (steel pipe filled with concrete), ...
