Multi-Criteria Spatial Analysis of Hazardous Materials Transportation
Cordeiro, Francyelly Giovany; Bezerra, Barbara Stolte ; Peixoto, Anna Silvia P. ; Kaiser, Ilza Machado (Vulnerability, Uncertainty, and Risk: Quantification, Mitigation, and Management - Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Vulnerability and Risk Analysis and Management, ICVRAM 2014 and the 6th International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis, ISUMA 2014, 2014) [Trabalho apresentado em evento]
The development of the world economy increases trade, thereby inducing a large amount of goods transportation. In many developing countries, such as Brazil, the transportation system is predominated by the highway mode. ... -
Go/N ratio in tropical soils from Brazil
; Pedrini, Rubens Antonio Amaral; Giacheti, Heraldo Luiz (Electronic Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 2015) [Artigo]
The geotechnical behavior of tropical soils is complex and cannot be supported only by the classical soil mechanics. The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is broadly used for geotechnical site characterization. However, it ... -
