Road and rail embankments: new features introduced in GeoStru Loadcap

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,…

MRE: More than a simple application

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

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…

naturalistic engineering

Naturalistic engineering works for slope stability: living retaining walls.

Preliminary sizing of naturalistic engineering works is one of the most important operations to be carried out before the detailed design of the works, certainly preceding technical checks and subsequent final sizing. Having quick and efficient tools at your disposal to perform initial checks and assess whether the chosen techniques can solve the issues has…

liquefazione e sisma

Liquefaction and earthquake

Liquefaction and earthquake Liquefaction is an extraordinarly complex and potentially destructive phenomenon that can occur during a seismic event of significant intensity. The accelerations generated by a seismic event result in an increase in the neutral pressure of the interstitial water contained in saturated sandy soil. Figure 1 – Comparison between stable soil on the…

Integrare il BIM nella Geotecnica e nella Geologia

Integrare il BIM nella Geotecnica e nella Geologia. Come definito dal NIBS (National Institute of Building Sciences), il Building Information Modeling è “una rappresentazione digitale delle caratteristiche fisiche e funzionali di una struttura, una risorsa di conoscenza condivisa di informazioni che costituisce una base affidabile per qualsiasi decisione lungo il suo ciclo di vita, dalla…
