The offshore industry has been challenged with the necessity to build structures with foundations on carbonate soils, found in extensive areas of the tropical and intertropical zones of the planet. As a better understanding of the behavior of these soils becomes more and more indispensable, this paper presents equations to predict the dynamic behavior o...

Predicting the pile’s load capacity is one of the first steps of foundation engineering design. In geotechnical engineering, there are different ways of predicting soil resistance, which is one of the main parameters. The pile load test is the most accurate method to predict bearing capacity in foundations, as it is the most accurate due to th...

The sanitary landfill settlement prediction is an important tool for an integrated waste management system once it allows the evaluation of the sanitary landfill useful life and assists in the development of planning actions. Several settlement models have been used as an attempt to estimate the waste volume reduction over time. However, there are few m...
