Extreme rainfall induced landslides
This book assembles most of the works presented at the International Workshop on Extreme Rainfall Induced Landslides, held in Rio de Janeiro 11-15 February 2012, in response to the landslide disaster which occurred in the Serrana Region of Rio de Janeiro one year before, and also other disasters in the states of Santa Catarina, São Paulo, Pernambuco, Alagoas, and Minas Gerais. The workshop brought together great landslide experts from all around the world, and the outcome was a Final Report sent to competent governmental Brazilian authorities. The presentations, discussions and lessons learned highlighted the urgency of governmental actions to incentivize scientific and technological researches, aiming to accelerate the methodological development in order to avoid, reduce and mitigate the hazardous consequences of these natural disasters.
Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials
In November 2015, Buenos Aires, Argentina became the location of several important events for geo-professionals, with the simultaneous holding of the 6th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials, the 15th Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XV PCSMGE), the 8th South American Congress on Rock Mechanics (SCRM), as well as the 22nd Argentinean Congress of Geotechnical Engineering (CAMSIGXXII). This synergy provided a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss current and future practices in the areas of soil mechanics and rock mechanics, and their applications in civil, energy, environmental, and mining engineering. This bo...
Climate Change Adaptation in Latin America
This book showcases experiences from research, field projects and best practice in climate change adaptation in countries in the Latin American region, focusing on managing vulnerability and fostering resilience. It includes a selection of papers presented at a specialist symposium on climate change adaptation held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in November 2016.Consistent with the need for more cross-sectoral interaction among the various stakeholders working in the field of climate change adaptation in Latin America, the book documents and disseminates the wealth of experiences in the region. It is divided into two main parts: Part 1 addresses the current and future impacts of climate change on fauna, flora and landscapes, while Part 2 is concerned with the socio-economic aspects of climate change adaptation, analyzing some of the main problems prevailing in this vulnerable region and examining ways to address them.
From Fundamentals to Applications in Geotechnics
The work of geotechnical engineers contributes to the creation of safe, economic and pleasant spaces to live, work and relax all over the world. Advances are constantly being made, and the expertise of the profession becomes ever more important with the increased pressure on space and resources. This book presents the proceedings of the 15th Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XV PCSMGE), held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in November 2015. This conference, held every four years, is an important opportunity for international experts, researchers, academics, professionals and geo-engineering companies to meet and exchange ideas and research findings in the ar...
Geotechnical Synergy in Buenos Aires 2015
In November 2015, Buenos Aires, Argentina became the location of several important events for geo-professionals, with the simultaneous holding of the 15th Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XV PCSMGE), the 8th South American Congress on Rock Mechanics (SCRM) and the 6th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials, as well as the 22nd Argentinean Congress of Geotechnical Engineering (CAMSIGXXII). This synergy brought together international experts, researchers, academics, professionals and geo-engineering companies in a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss current and future practices in the areas of soil mechanics and rock mechanics, and their applications in civil, energy, environmental, and mining engineering. This book presents the invited lectures of the 15th Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XV PCSMGE) and the 8th South American Congress on Rock Mechanics (SCRM). It includes the Casagrande Lecture delivered by Luis Valenzuela and 21 Plenary, Keynote and Panelist Lectures from these two Buenos Aires conferences.
Geossintéticos em geotecnia e meio ambiente
Geossintéticos em geotecnia e meio ambiente reúne os 40 anos de experiência do autor no tema para tratar das aplicações dos geossintéticos por meio de uma sólida base teórica e diversos exemplos práticos. O livro parte dos recursos envolvidos, como tipos de geossintéticos e polímeros e suas propriedades, para em seguida apresentar suas aplicações em diferentes projetos, como drenagem e filtração, obras de proteção ambiental, obras hidráulicas, reforço de obras viárias, aterros sobre solos moles, contenções e reforço de solos. Uma referência atualizada e completa sobre o tema, Geossintéticos em geotecnia e meio ambiente traz exemplos práticos, ilustrações, requisitos para instalação, dimensionamento, avaliação de desempenho e exemplos de cálculos.
A sociedade do conhecimento e suas tecnologias
Neste livro, iremos nos deparar com vários tópicos interdisciplinares que vão desde ciências dos materiais até estudos teóricos computacionais. Transpareceremos, dessa forma, a nossa limitação sensorial/cognitiva de estudar diferentes tópicos de maneiras individuais. Desbravaremos, portanto, a tão sonhada unificação dos saberes científicos. Ademais, conseguiremos, nesta presente obra, um material de referência para um estudo deleitoso, conciso e coeso na busca da magnífica arte de aprender o novo.
Integrating Innovations of Rock Mechanics
In November 2015, Buenos Aires, Argentina became the location of several important events for geo-professionals, with the simultaneous holding of the 8th South American Congress on Rock Mechanics (SCRM), the 15th Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XV PCSMGE), and the 6th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials, as well as the 22nd Argentinean Congress of Geotechnical Engineering (CAMSIGXXII). This synergy brought together international experts, researchers, academics, professionals and geo-engineering companies in a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss current and future practices in the areas of soil mechanics and rock mechanics, and their applications in civil, energy, environmental, and mining engineering. This book presents the proceedings of the 8th South American Congress on Rock Mechanics (SCRM). Topics covered include rock mechanics, rock engineering, natural resources, mining, mechanics, geology and engineering. Approximately 60% of the contributions are in English, and the remaining 40% of the contributions are in either Spanish or Portuguese.
Manual brasileiro de geossintéticos
O Manual Brasileiro de Geossintéticos é a primeira obra dedicada exclusivamente ao tema no Brasil, oferecendo importante contribuição à divulgação das técnicas de uso dos geossintéticos, ainda pouco exploradas entre nós, orientando e conscientizando desde estudantes até engenheiros nas fases de projeto, especificação e implantação em obra. Atualmente, em todo o mundo, os geossintéticos desempenham um papel fundamental nas obras de infraestrutura civil. Em 1960, eles simplesmente não existiam e, em 1970, poucos engenheiros os conheciam. Já em 1980, muitos profissionais os conheciam, mas a maioria ainda relutava em utilizá-los – havia a crença de que o único fornecedor d...
