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…
Earth Pillars Washout erosion The slopes can be subject to important washout processes beacuse of rainfall. For example: – Splash erosion; – Sheet erosion; – Rill erosion; – Gully erosion; – etc. These processes are responsible of the erosion of considerable quantities of sediment which leads to the definition of the phenomenon of denudation of…
Dynamic probing test and empirical formulas In situ investigations The purpose of the in situ investigations is to adopt appropriate techniques to allow the determination of the physical-mechanical characteristics of the soils. In-situ investigations include penetrometric tests commonly used for the physical-mechanical characterization of the significant subsoil volume. The combination of these tests with surveys,…
In the technical field it is important to document the works through photographic reports and geo-locate them on the map. The technology we have today allows you to easily get your position in real time. With few economic resources can get smartphones, tablets and PCs, equipped with GPS. Of course in the case of investigations…
Liquefaction resistance of soil with Liquiter Simplified procedure for evaluating liquefaction resistance of soils Following disastrous earthquakes that occurred in Alaska and Niigata (Japan in 1964), Seed and Idris (1971) proposed a simplified methodology for assessing the resistance to liquefaction of soils. This methodology has been selected and improved over the years (e.g. Seed, 1979;…
