In this work an exploratory research was carried out, which was based on the collection, with the aid of researches, measurements, with application use, and field surveys, of the characteristic variables of the public transport operation by bus. Among the variables collected are the flow of passengers along the line, operating speed, stopping time, frequency of service. The analysis of the indicators brings to the fore a comprehensive knowledge of the system, which allows the identification o...
Building on soft soils has been an increasingly common practice, considering the population growth around the world imposes the need to improve country infrastructure by tailoring and securing spaces to accompany such growth. There are numerous studies related to the reinforcement of this type of soil, seeking to discover new technologies and to improve existing techniques. This approach helps the engineer to make a better analysis of which solution is most appropriate for a given situation. ...
