Groundwater Darcy Velocity from underground Temperature: A Focus on the City of Turin (NW Italy)By Diego Barbero, Andrea Maroni, Sandra Peyrot
Abstract: We report on an application of a methodology for inferring water transfer in a shallow aquifer by using analytical models of interpretation of heat transport by advection and conduction in permeable horizons. In this research, we highlight as the statistical interpretation of thermal data is a tool to obtain a quantitative estimation of the horizontal component of the Darcy velocity in a shallow aquifer. This study is based on the …

Portland Cement for A-4 group Soil StabilizationBy Diego Barbero, Leandro Serraiocco, Andrea Maroni, Sandra Peyrot
Abstract: In the geotechnical practice, the stabilization of soil using cement is a necessary procedure when soilsdo not meet the geotechnical requirements i.e. they show low bearing capacity so it’s necessary toimprove their engineering properties generally adding lime or cement, or moisture of lime andcement. The aim of this research focuses on the description of a geotechnical laboratory tests plan forA-4 Group Soils according to AASTHO Soils Classification, generally consisting of …

Effect of lime content of lime-stabilized A-4 Soils in the Unconfined Compressive ResistanceBy Leandro Darío Serraiocco, Diego Barbero, Andrea Maroni, Sandra Peyrot
Abstract: This paper is part of a research project carried out between Geotechnical Office of Dr. Barbero & collaborators and Weg Ingeniería, from Italy and Argentina, respectively. Given the multiple applications of soils improvement with lime, in this research we proceed to develop correlations on the bases of results obtained by geotechnical tests, according to international standards, realized in A-4 soils at different contents of lime. The goal is to have …

A Laboratory Methodological Proposal for “Geotechnical Lime Stabilization of A-4 Soils”By Diego Barbero, Leandro Serraiocco, Andrea Maroni, Sandra Peyrot
Abstract: This paper establish the beginning of a research process regarding the behavior of soils stabilized with lime. Generally, the geotechnical practice of soils stabilized with lime requires a first step conducted in the laboratory, to attest the features of “natural soils” in order to improve their behavior in term of geotechnical performance and, a second step, carried out onsite with experimental test fields, in order to verify the benefit obtained …

First experimental results on “clay and bentonite” mixtures for the waterproofing of a landfill in Northwestern Piedmont Region (NW Italy)By Diego Barbero, Andrea Maroni, Sandra Peyrot
Abstract: We report on experimental results conducted on “clay and bentonite” mixtures for the waterproofing of a tank landfill located in Northwestern Piedmont Region (NW Italy).The geotechnical experimental tests on “clay and bentonite” mixtures were conducted in the laboratory first, with the aim of finding the optimum percentage of granular bentonite to be added to the clay and then, they were carried out in situ, in the tank, on the layer …

Laboratory permeability and single ring infiltration tests for the testing of waterproofing barriers of landfill tanks.By Diego Barbero, Andrea Maroni, Sandra Peyrot
Abstract: Hydraulic conductivity is a fundamental hydrogeological parameter for the testing of waterproofing barriers of landfill tanks. These barriers are aimed at guaranteeing the isolation of the waste and preventing the infiltration of the percolate in the subsoil.Geotechnical features of mineral barriers must be preliminarily established through geotechnical laboratory tests in order to verify their suitability for their application.The main mineral barriers correspond to the bottom waterproofing of the landfill tanks …

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