Consulting

Besides the design of retaining structures and foundations of buildings ("conventional" geotechnics), I have been involved, as part of a group of Consultants in many significant technical works, dealing with the following areas of Geotechnical Engineering:

  • Seismic microzonation studies, with emphasis on the effects of soil and topography conditions and the use of GIS
  • Design of buried pipelines, against seismic motion, fault rupture and explosions
  • Design of slopes, embankments and dams, in adverse soil conditions and under seismic motion
  • Design against liquefaction of foundations, slopes, embankments and buried pipelines
  • Geophysical testing, with emphasis on the execution and evaluation of Crosshole & Downhole measurements
