The design of earthworks, i.e. structures built using loose soil, has as its main objective the creation of constructions that remain stable over time, guaranteeing adequate safety margins. The performance required varies according to the type of work: for example, for an earthen dam or a river embankment it is essential to ensure hydraulic impermeability,…
When carrying out the stability analysis of a slope using the well-established software Geostru Slope Stability analysis – Slope, the user has the option of placing a retention structures of his choice : Walls, Piles, Ground Anchor and Reinforced soil. Selecting the latter will open the module Reinforced Earth – MRE. We speak of a…
Application of static penetrometric tests in stratigraphic profile reconstruction Diego Lo Presti,* Claudia Meisina,** Nunziante Squeglia* Cone penetration tests are a well-established in situ test methods for site characterization. Their widespread use for subsurface explorations is due to their reliability, speed, economy and to the fact that they supply continuous records with depths of soil…
