Strength and Stiffness Parameters of an Unsaturated Tropical Soil
(2018-01-01)
The interpretation of in-situ tests for site characterization of unsaturated tropical soil sites should consider both the spatial and the seasonal variability caused by the soil suction on the strength and stiffness ...
Visual field assessment of soil structural quality in tropical soils
(Elsevier, 2014)
Unified approach on the interpretation of piezocone test data in a tropical soil site
(Ios Press, 2015-01-01)
The unified approach is a semi-empirical method, which incorporated the critical state soil mechanics theory for interpretation of piezocone tests. This paper discuss the applicability of this method to define stratigraphic ...
Soil sampling after corrective application in area planted with sugarcane
(Empresa Brasil Pesq Agropec, 2001-09-01)
This work aimed to evaluate the effect of two methods of sampling, in an area planted with sugarcane, on the chemical soil properties, after acidity corrective treatments. The first method consisted of soil sampling in 30% ...
The use of CPT to evaluate the effect of helical pile installation in tropical soils
(2013-01-01)
The uplift capacity of helical piles depends on the shear resistance of the soil above the helical plates. During helical pile installation, the soil traversed by the plates are sheared and displaced laterally, and ...

Collapsible Behavior of Lateritic Soil Due to Compacting Conditions
(2020-10-01)
Soil collapse is a major geotechnical problem that causes architectural and structural damage to buildings and engineering infrastructure. Losses due to soil collapsibility have an economical aspect and the study of these ...
The cone loading test to estimate deformability moduli of a tropical soil
(2013)
The Cone Loading Test (CLT) consists of the execution of a load test on the piezocone probe in conjunction with the CPT test. The CLT yields the modulus ECLT, a parameter that can be used in the estimative of foundation ...
Soil erodibility assessment in a pasture and forest remnant using the inderbitzen device
(2013-05-28)
Brazil has the largest cattle herd in the world with approximately 200 million head. An important feature of the Brazilian cattle industry is that most of its herd is raised on pasture, which constitutes one of the most ...
