 The Standard Penetration Test (SPT), widely used in Brazil, provides reference data to geotechnical projects. The data obtained are punctual and often dispersed due to its execution, that is, there is no concern in gathering and analyzing such information jointly for a specific region....

Sample quality has a direct influence on the results of geo-mechanical parameters obtained in laboratory and in situ tests, potentially causing serious technical and economic consequences. In the study of soft soil behavior using laboratory tests, it is important to evaluate, and be able to quantify sample quality, and if necessary and possible, to corr...

Increased food production results in the development and application of agrochemicals to control weeds, which can affect agricultural production. Pesticides contaminate the environment and change soil and water quality. Therefore, to improve the understanding of the adsorption mechanism of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in aluminoferric red oxis...

An extensive campaign of field and laboratory tests were performed on samples of residual soils and colluviums present in the morphoscultural sub-unit comprising Serra do Mar Paranaense located in Southern Brazil. The geotechnical investigations included the physical characterization, in situ hydraulic conductivity and the mechanical behavior of the soils, by me...
