Drivers and barriers to successful solid waste management: assessing through an aggregated indicator
(Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management, 2022) [Artigo]Solid waste management is the main topic of the circular economy and remains a challenge for public management, because despite the recent economic downturn in Brazil, some indicators still need to be improved. This study ... -
Sustainability in the Civil Construction Sector Supported by Industry 4.0 Technologies: Challenges and Opportunities
(Infrastructures, 2022) [Artigo]The civil construction sector is under pressure to make construction processes more sustainable, that is, aligned with economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Thus, the research question considers: How do ... -
Proposal of an assessment tool to diagnose industrial symbiosis readiness
(Sustainable Production and Consumption, 2022) [Artigo]This paper aims to present an original assessment tool developed to diagnose industrial symbiosis (IS) readiness. It is expected that industries with greater symbiotic readiness are more likely to have success in implementing ... -
Using a Seismic Dilatometer to Identify Collapsible Soils
(International Journal of Civil Engineering, 2021) [Artigo]Collapsible soils are unusual geomaterials found in several regions of the world. These soils undergo sudden and large volumetric compressive deformations upon wetting under constant loading. It is a problematic soil that ... -
Potential sources of groundwater pollution and a proposal for prioritizing inspection areas in an industrialized municipality
(Aguas Subterraneas, 2021) [Artigo]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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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 ... -
Site characterization of a tropical soil by in situ tests
(DYNA (Colombia), 2018) [Artigo]This paper compiles site characterization data of an unsaturated tropical soil profile in an experimental research site in Bauru, São Paulo State, Brazil. Several in situ campaigns comprised geophysical borehole tests ... -
Optimum support positions in bridges
(Ciencia y Engenharia/ Science and Engineering Journal, 2013) [Artigo]This paper presents a study to determine the optimal support positions in bridges, as well as the optimal relation between the spans of beams, aiming both the reduction and the unifirmization of the efforts in these ... -
Vulnerability and contamination inventory of the groundwater in the alto aguapeí and alto peixe, SP
(Ciencia y Engenharia/ Science and Engineering Journal, 2013) [Artigo]The characterization and assessment of the natural vulnerability and the contamination risks of aquifers were made for outcropping units on the sub units of water resources management called Alto Aguapeí and Alto Peixe ... -

2D evaluation of crack openings using smeared and embedded crack models
(Computers and Concrete, 2010) [Artigo]This work deals with the determination of crack openings in 2D reinforced concrete structures using the Finite Element Method with a smeared rotating crack model or an embedded crack model. In the smeared crack model, the ... -
Finite elements with embedded multiple cracks and non-uniform discontinuity modes
(Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures, 2005) [Artigo]Recently, several formulations of finite elements embedded with displacement discontinuity have been proposed to describe crack propagation independent of the element boundaries. By construction, these approaches are limited ... -
