3D Engineering Geological Modeling to Investigate a Liquefaction Site: An Example in Alluvial Holocene Sediments in the Po Plain, Italy

Geosciences, 2022
Liquefaction-induced surface manifestations are the result of a complex geological–geotechnical phenomenon, driven by several controlling factors. We propose a multidisciplinary methodological approach, involving engineering geologists, geomorphologists,

Research on the Detoxification of Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Fly Ash: Organic Acid Washing Pretreatment Coupled With Cement/DDTC Stabilization

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavy metals in municipal waste incineration fly ash are potentially harmful to the ecological environment and human health. To mitigate the hazards of fly ash, this study attempts to detoxify fly ash through organic acid washing pretreatment coupled with cement/sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) solidification.

Geotechnical design with apparent seismic safety factors well-bellow 1 [PDF]

, 2014
The paper demonstrates that whereas often in seismic geotechnical design it is not realistically feasible to design with ample factor of safety against failure as is done in static design, an "engineering" apparent seismic factor of safety less than 1 ...

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...
