Abstract: This paper introduces a novel methodology for addressing the complex behavior of axial pipe-soil interaction in soft marine clays, considering drained, undrained and partially drained soil responses. The results of the proposed methodology are compared with those obtained using the traditional alpha approach for determining the axial friction factor. Leia mais…

Abstract: Monitoring is an element of landslide early warning systems. Fukuzono’s method, based on displacement and velocity monitoring, is one of the most popular methods for slope time of failure (TOF) prediction. This critical literature review aimed to systematically analyze the state-of-the-art accelerometers used for slope monitoring and TOF prediction. Leia mais…

Abstract: Compacted soil dams are critical structures for mining, water supply and power generation, particularly in tropical regions. Monitoring these dams is essential throughout their lifetime, as variations in reservoir water levels due to drought, rainfall or operational changes can significantly affect soil saturation and stability. This study developed a Leia mais…
