    A methodology for the determination of bearing capacity of granular soils with plate loading tests

    By Diego Barbero, Monica Garello, Andrea Maroni, Alberto Tissoni

    Abstract: In granular soils, due to the inability to collect undisturbed samples of soil for geotechnical laboratory tests or the impracticality of carrying out dynamic penetration tests, highlights the necessity to find a useful approach in the engineering geological practice for the determination of bearing capacity. In these soils the determination of bearing capacity can be evaluated with several formula that necessary require the estimation of the friction angle: this leads …

    Geotechnical study of a landslide reactivation in clay soils (central Piedmont, NW Italy).

    By Diego Barbero, Alberto Tissoni, Andrea Maroni, Sandra Peyrot

    Abstract: In March 2015, exceptional meteoric events occurred in southern Piedmont caused a remarkable rise of the rivers water level of the Tanaro Basin with flooding and many landslides. The engineering geological study reported here, concerns a triggering of a previous landslide occurred in 1982 in the hills, shaped in the marine sedimentary succession (Lugagnano Clay, lower Pliocene) of the southern Asti Reliefs, near San Martino Alfieri village. Detailed geological, morphological …
