The EN Eurocodes apply to the structural design of buildings and other civil engineering works including, geotechnical aspects, structural fire design and situations including earthquakes, execution and temporary structures. For the design of special construction works (e.g. nuclear installations, dams, etc) other provisions than those in the EN Eurocodes might be necessary. It is basically used in 27…
In the design of road and rail embankments on fine-grained or very fine-grained soils, it is necessary to understand the settlements to overland the time. This is because, in the case of water infiltration, the drainage process takes place very slowly in the medium and long term. The problem is particularly felt in the sections…
As in accordance with Eurocode 7 Part 1, the hen prediction of geotechnical behavior is difficult, so it may be appropriate to apply the approach known as the “observational method,” in which the design is reviewed during construction. This method is applied by following this procedure: limits of acceptability of the values of certain quantities…
Stability analysis of embedded cantilever retaining walls in seismic area is generally carried out by calculating a factor of safety against a possible mechanism of collapse. However, a more rational approach consists in assessing the performance of the structure in terms of accumulated permanent displacement (Fig. 1). Indeed, this approach is required by many national…

Extensively used at an international level, Slope stability analysis software – SLOPE is one of the most used software for slope stability verification of both loose and rocky soils, using the traditional methods of geotechnics (Limit Equilibrium), and the Discrete Element Method. Under seismic conditions, it is possible to choose either the pseudo static method…
In the proposed example is reported the piping verification of a channel section through the use of GeoStru software GFAS (Finite Element Analysis in Geotechnics). The geotechnical parameters used in the analyses and the geometries of the investigated sections refer to the Geological Report derived from in situ investigations. Cross section geometry The geometry of…
GeoStru software is used worldwide and is translated into many languages. Reliability, computation accuracy and ease of use are some of the strong points of our programs. The progress and updating of the software has brought many new features such as the integration of the GeoDropBox Cloud service: now within the programs you can synchronize…
In case of an earthquake there is a risk of amplification of its effects on a building, this risk is known as “double resonance” and occurs when the value of the fundamental resonance frequency of the ground of foundation is similar to the one of the building. The effects of the double resonances The effects…
