This paper presents a methodology for selecting areas with potential sources of groundwater pollution and its application in an industrialized municipality in the interior of São Paulo. As there are multiple potential ... -
Effect of polypropylene fibers on the shear strength–dilation behavior of compacted lateritic soils
Silveira, Maitê Rocha; ; ; Rodrigues, Roger Augusto ; Giacheti, Heraldo Luiz ; Lodi, Paulo César (Sustainability (Switzerland), 2021) [Artigo]
The stress–dilatancy relationship for fiber-reinforced soils has been the focus of recent studies. This relationship can be used as a foundation for the development of constitutive models for fiber-reinforced soils. The ... -
Landslide risk assessment considering socionatural factors: methodology and application to Cubatão municipality, São Paulo, Brazil
Hader, Paulo Rodolpho Pereira; Reis, Fábio Augusto Gomes Vieira ; Peixoto, Anna Silvia Palcheco (Natural Hazards, 2022) [Artigo]
The manuscript presents a methodology to integrate spatial information of susceptibility, vulnerability and rainfall thresholds to produce a dynamic landslide risk map. The inputs were combined in two matrices: combining ... -
A nonlinear BE formulation for analysis of masonry walls considering orthotropy: Fundamentals
Oliveira Neto, Luttgardes de; ; ; (Structures, 2021) [Artigo]
In this work, a non-linear Boundary Element (BE) formulation with damage model is extended for numerical simulation of structural masonry walls. The original formulation was presented by other researchers to investigate ... -
Probabilistic Analysis of Bored Pile Foundations in the Design Phase: An Application Example
Nogueira, Caio Gorla; Boni, Henrique Svizzero ; Giacheti, Heraldo Luiz (Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2022) [Artigo]
This paper presents a probabilistic analysis of pile foundations in the design phase considering Reliability Theory in order to improve the final decision about the foundation system. Two semi-empirical predicting methods ... -
The Flat Dilatometer Test in an Unsaturated Tropical Soil Site
; Rodrigues, Roger Augusto; Giacheti, Heraldo Luiz (Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2021) [Artigo]
The site characterization of unsaturated soils is well stablished based on laboratory tests, which are expensive and time-consuming. In-situ testing methods, such as the flat dilatometer test (DMT), are an alternative to ... -
Characterizing a tropical soil via seismic in situ tests
Rocha, Breno Padovezi; Giacheti, Heraldo Luiz (Revista Brasileira de Geofisica, 2019) [Artigo]
The shear wave velocity (Vs) is an important geotechnical parameter to be used in dynamic problems (e.g. earthquakes and vibration problems) as well as in static deformation analysis such as excavations and foundation ... -
