This paper presents results of the instrumentation of 373 blows from two SPT deployments performed in the Sarapuí II Test Site, located in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro. In these blows the hammer drop height, its velocity at impact, the rate of blows and also the energy transferred to the rod stem have been measured. It is therefor...
View ArticleThe article presents a study on the influence of exposure conditions on strength and absorption in soil stabilized
with lime and rice husk ash. A soil classified as A-4 and CL, known as Red-Yellow Podzol, a hydrated lime and a
crystal-type burnt rice husk ashes were used throughout the study. The laboratory testing program encomp...
This paper presents the results from a preliminary inventory of natural and man-made hazards and/or disasters in Brazil. The data were collected from previous studies, aerial photographs, satellite images and field studies. The data were obtained to evaluate the spatial distribution of natural and man-made hazards and disasters in different cities and s...
View ArticleFinding explicit solutions to the partial differential equations governing the infiltration phenomenon tend to be a challenging issue. On account of such complexity, researchers have proposed algebraic equations to model this phenomenon. This paper deals with the solution of the general three-parameter infiltration equation, which is an implicit equatio...
