RISUse of Piezocone to Predict Maximum Stiffness of Venetian Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A comprehensive geotechnical in situ and laboratory investigation into the soils forming the Upper Quaternary basin of the Venetian Lagoon has been carried out. In addition to standard tests, measurements of shear wave ...
Monitoring and Modeling Tidally Induced Pore-Pressure Oscillations in the Soil of St. Mark’s Square in Venice, Italy
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Sea level rise and high tide events are threatening many coastal cities, which require adequate and sustainable protection measures. The historic city centre of Venice (Italy) is often flooded during very high tide events, ...
Analysis of Piezocone Penetration under Different Drainage Conditions with the Two-Phase Material Point Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Microstructural Analyses of a Stabilized Sand by a Deep-Mixing Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The deep-mixing method (DMM) involves the mechanical mixing of in-situ soil with various stabilizing binders, which chemically react with the soil or the groundwater. Microstructural analyses are valuable tools to support ...
Unified Compression Model for Venice Lagoon Natural Silts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Over the last 50 years, the city of Venice, Italy, has observed a significant increase in the frequency of flooding. Numerous engineering solutions have been proposed, including the use of movable gates located at the three ...
Large-Scale Testing of Distributed Temperature Sensing for Early Detection of Piping
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Internal erosion is the cause of significant damage in dams and river embankments in many countries. In the last 20 years, the use of fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) has proved to be an effective ...
