Results of recent investigations suggest that climate change tends to exacerbate geo-disasters. Therefore, it is understood that adaptation to climate change has rapidly become the most important and urgent issue for the future existence of human beings on Earth. Adaptation of design analyses and construction recommendation involves a significant contribution specifically in the resilienc…
This proposal aims the internationalization of researches on geosynthetics at UFSCar by the strengthening of international cooperation with Professor Jorge Gabriel Zornberg from The University of Texas at Austin. We have maintained the partnership with Dr. Zornberg since 2011, which has resulted in relevant international scientific publications. The intention of this purpose is to consoli…
Geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures have been an advantageous technique for providing efficiency and cost saving in retaining walls, mainly when local soil is available to be used as fill material. However, standards and recommendations suggest the use of granular material although local soils are frequently used in Brazil, even when these are fine-grained soils. The use of fine-grain…

Granular columns have been intensively used in many geotechnical problems involving ground improvement. Recently, the use of geotextiles encased columns has provided viability and has increased the use of granular columns in soft clays. In case of the improvement of low strength soils (not necessarily soft clays), the reinforced granular columns have been suggested in literature to provid…
Currently, the greatest challenge in civil engineering remains in the real and substantial implementation of the sustainability concept, which can be reached by the use of shallow foundations instead of deep foundation solutions. However, the use of footings mostly depends on the bearing capacity of foundation soils. In this case, techniques of soil improvement can be used to increase the…
Retaining walls using the soil reinforced technique has been expanded in the geotechnical engineering due to technical and economical advantages when compared to other conventional solutions as concrete and gabion walls. The use of local fine-grained soils as backfill material with geosynthetic reinforcements has provided even more cost savings, versatibility and environmental conservatio…
