Durante as chuvas fortes de 2022, uma encosta da PR 182 se rompeu. A estrada é a principal conexão entre Salgado Filho e Flor da Serra do Sul. Ensolo foi chamada para fazer o projeto de contenção dessa encosta para permitir a reconstrução desse trecho de rodovia.
An Innovative Project from WSP In the September 3, 2021 issue of New Civil Engineer, an innovative project from WSP is featured: “The addition of yet another high rise development to London’s skyline is not particularly uncommon. But the construction of the 50 storey Principal Tower, which includes two basement levels, required an innovative engineering approach, as it faced numerous site constraints and the challenge of protecting neighbouring rail assets. Commissioned by a joint venture partnership of developers Brookfield, Concord Pacific and W1 Developments, the building’s layout features an unusual design, comprising three shapes arranged to make a cruciform measuring less than 25m by 25m. Within the mixed-use building, amenities include a pool, spa, gym, cinema and lounge. The tower is part of the wider Principal Place development, which includes smaller mixed-use buildings and Amazon’s new London headquarters.” Read the rest of the article from New Civil Engineer.

Because of limited space, the GBP 200 million project required a viable design to move forward. Software RAM Concept With RAM Concept, you can economically design post-tensioned and reinforced concrete floors including

Modeling Shotcrete and Cable Bolts: Comparison of FLAC2D and PLAXIS 2D The 2D excavation analysis of a tunnel in a rock mass is explored in this article and some elements of comparison with an identical analysis run in FLAC2D geotechnical analysis software will be discussed. Besides a results comparison, this article will particularly focus on model construction in PLAXIS 2D geotechnical analysis software. (a) Cross Section (b) Profile Figure 1: Tunnel drawings Problem Description The tunnel cross section and profile are provided in Figure 1. The studied tunnel section is constructed at a depth of 654 m in a uniform rock mass with unit weight γrock = 26.7 kN.m-3. The initial stress ratio is respectively equal to K0,x = 0.6 (in-plane horizontal) and K0,z = 0.8 (out-of-plane horizontal). The tunnel is placed at an elevation of 76 m. In order to not have to physically model the entire overburden (and that would have required for the model to extend up to an elevation of 730 m vertically), a fictitious 10 m top layer with unit was introduced at an elevation of 160 m with a unit weight of γoverb = 1522 kN.m-3 equivalent to a 570 m thick overburden with
Introduction Jody Robinson, at DRS-Engineering, works with slope stabilization and retaining walls design, among other geo-structures in California. Waterfront repairs, remediation of wave action on pile walls and tied-back dimensioning are also in the scope of services provided.
In this project, Jody used PLAXIS 2D as a single tool. The topography and subsurface layers were imported as CAD and the reinforcement proposals were drawn and analyzed directly in PLAXIS 2D. Seepage analysis was performed to calibrate the model and, later, rain infiltration was also taken into account.
Dr. Fermín Sanchez and his team was tasked with the construction of a highway from Tepic City to Puerto Vallarta City on the Western Coast of Mexico. In this case study, he encountered a significant mass of rock sliding close to a tunnel portal due to an open cut, which was caused by the re-activation of a geological fault.
In this case study, we show how Finite Element Method (FEM) analyses, combined with InSAR remote sensing monitoring, helped to complete an embankment project on soft ground and peat, safely and cost-effectively.
A ferramenta PLAXIS SoilTest permite você explorar as implicações dos possíveis resultados de ensaios de laboratório no seu modelo e calibrar os parâmetros geotécnicos de acordo com os ensaios de laboratório disponíveis.
