Prediction of Compression Index of Soft Soils from the Brazilian Coast Using Artificial Neural Networks and Empirical Correlations

January 29, 2020
This paper aims to explore the potential use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict the compression index (CC) of soft soils from the Brazilian coast. Results from 225 standard consolidation (oedometer) tests and the corresponding soil index properties (i.e., initial void ratio, natural water content and Atterberg limits) of a wide variety of fine-grain...

The 8th Victor de Mello lecture: role played by viscosity on the undrained behaviour of normally consolidated clays

May 18, 2023

Phenomena that do not obey Terzaghi’s principle of effective stress (PES) are related to strain rate and time effects. This issue led the author to refer to early articles in soil mechanics, which used to consider the shear resistance of clays as a combination of two components: a frictional and a viscous one. In these articles the viscous com...

Soil-structure interaction analysis in reinforced concrete structures on footing foundation

May 05, 2021

Soil-structure interaction (SSI) evaluates how soil or rock deformability imposes on the structure a different load path in a hypothesis of fixed supports, altering the loads acting on the structural elements and the ground. This paper discusses the results of the SSI effects in two buildings with a reinforced concrete structure and shallow foundations ...
