Downhole Seismic Testing (DST) is utilized for estimating low-strain shear damping ratio (ηs). Estimates of low strain ηs values are very important for predicting and assessing ground amplification during earthquakes. The low strain ηs estimates also provide for a reference of laborat...
View ArticleThe inadequate disposal of rubber waste from scrap tires is a globally recognized problem. In Brazil alone, 12.23 million tires were manufactured in the first quarter of 2024. The incorporation of this solid waste into geotechnical projects can serve to mitigate the environmental impact of its disposal. The results of the characterization, static, and d...
View ArticleThe metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte city is home to several high-risk areas with a significant number of mass movement occurrences. Additionally, there are cases of movements in areas that are not considered high-risk, where constructions exhibit a medium to high construction standard. This emphasizes that, in addition to disordered occupations, t...
View ArticleIn a homogeneous earth fill dam, an initial process of internal erosion was observed near the base of the downstream slope, which is one of the main dam failure causes in the world. This problem was adequately solved, and research was started aiming to find the causes of the detected anomaly. The history of the structure was investigated, field testing ...
