The reed test has been used in field research for the elaboration of geotechnical projects and in the management of non-clay sedimentary deposits, due to the fact that it provides data such as undrained shear strength (Su) and sensitivity (St). The same results are obtained in the test with the laboratory straw (mini vane), but for that, it is necessary to extract samples considered undisturbed, which, in this research, were recommended by the ABNT NBR 9820 standard. vane shear test with the laboratory vane test, also called Mini Vane. The location of this analysis is in a port region located at the mouth of the Amazon River, in a natural sedimentary deposit, which presented two slope disruptions with characteristics peculiar to soils with high sensitivity. Landslides on slopes are usually predictable from a geotechnical point of view, however in this researched region the soil presented rapid landslides on the slope, showing signs of a soil with high sensitivity. The research pointed out that the laboratory vane test (mini vane) presented a greater (St) when correlated with the (St) of the simple compression tests, giving greater clarity that there is a very soft clayey soil with a depth between 30 and 40 meters, typical of a ground lens that performed with high sensitivity. Comparisons between the reed tests showed consistency in the results, even in soil layers with different consistency indices than the initial layers, the validations of the reed tests were validated with the tests performed by simple compression. Finally, the soil of this deposit had its sensitivity identified in the field straw test. The same identification was confirmed on the Mini Vane. However, at depths greater than the field vane. In this way, the tests carried out by the Vane Shear Test (VST) in situ were primordial in the identification of the sensitivity, having its confirmation with the laboratory reed test (Mini Vane).

The identification and mapping of sensitive soft clayey soils are of great interest for planning, design and protection purposes, as these materials can exhibit fragility, loss of strength and softening by deformation, in addition to being more prone to landslides. The occurrence of sensitive clays in the port region of the municipality of Santana, state of Amapá, region of the mouth of the Amazon River, motivated the study about the geological and geotechnical characteristics of the local soil. In this context, this research aims to evaluate the sensitivity of clays from a fluviomarine sedimentary deposit. The geotechnical investigation was divided into three areas, called investigation islands. On each island, piezocone tests (CPTU) were performed and undisturbed samples of high quality soil were collected for laboratory tests. Soil behavioral type abacuses (SBT), which use CPTU data, indirectly identified layers (lenses) of sensitive soft clays. Through the relationship between the undrained soil shear strengths (𝑆𝑢 and 𝑆𝑢𝑟), obtained by the unconfined simple compression test, the sensitivity values were directly obtained. The Atterberg limit tests, total granulometric analysis and moisture content, served to characterize the region's soil. The results showed that the sedimentary deposit is constituted mainly by silt and clay, of low resistance and high plasticity and compressibility, with moisture content close to 50%. The methods of Robertson (1990) and (2016) and Schneider et al. (2008) identified sensitive thin material. The clay showed 𝐵𝑞 values lower than 1.0. The results for 𝑆𝑢 were between 33.67 and 103.53 kPa, while for 𝑆𝑢𝑟 between 4.44 and 16.29 kPa. According to Skempton and Nortey's (1952) classification, 83.33% of the samples were classified as medium to extrasensitive clays, with a sensitivity range of 3.3 to 12.7 and an average of 7.06. Thus, the results were consistent with similar ones in the literature, evidencing the applicability of the geological geotechnical investigation for identifying and mapping sensitive soils in the Amazon region.

Confiabilidade aplicada à análise da estabilidade de taludes: um estudo de caso de uma encosta fluvial no norte amazônico

Among the geotechnical structures, the river slopes stand out for the uncertainties in their properties. In addition, the use of coupled reliability methods in the analysis of slopes has grown, in contrast to deterministic methods that do not consider uncertainties. In this context, the present work presents the study of the reliability of a fluvial slope in the Amazon region that suffered a rupture. For this, three reliability methodologies were used (Monte Carlo, FOSM and PEM), using the limit equilibrium method and finite elements. The properties of the hillside soft clays were treated as random variables and the reliability indicators for each methodology were obtained. In addition, sensitivity analyzes of these parameters were carried out. The results of the slice models were compared to the numerical results. Finally, it was concluded that the uncertainties in the properties of soft soils were not sufficient to cause the rupture of the slope, therefore, another factor(s) must have triggered the rupture.

Eletroquímica coloidal e sua relação com a sensibilidade de um solo argiloso na foz do rio Amazonas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-06-29) SOUSA, Flaviany Luise Nogueira de; TEIXEIRA, Marcelo Rassy; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8912916360456192
Clays have always played an important role in the history of civilizations, mainly because they are a mineral resource with varied technological applications. Among the several existing types, sensitive clays (quick clays), for example, are very complex soft soils that are considered real challenges for engineers due to the difficulty in obtaining their geotechnical parameters. In this sense, the aim of the present study was to analyze the sensitivity of a clay soil found in a region of the city of Santana, in the state of Amapá, Brazil. To this end, physical and chemical tests were carried out, including the SPT (Standard Penetration Test), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Zeta Potential (ζ), pH, Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), as well as resistance assays (Vane Test and Fall Cone Test – FCT). The analyzed area is located in the Macapá Fluvio-marine Plain, which is composed of sediments that were deposited both by rivers and by the sea as a result of the region’s proximity to the mouth of the Amazon River. The geological profile obtained through geotechnical investigation indicated that the soil is constituted of mottled sandy-clay sediments, sandy-silty sediments with plant remains, and sandy- silty sediments with pebbles. As for the mineralogy of the samples, they were essentially composed of quartz and three clay minerals: kaolinite, mica/illite, and chlorite. Regarding sensitivity, all samples were classified as quick clays, with medium or high amounts of organic matter (O.M.); greater organic matter content was associated with increased sensitivity. In addition, it was understood that the intensity of clay sensitivity was higher with the increase in monovalent cations and the decrease in divalent cations such as Ca2+ and Mg2+, which must have been removed by the O.M. The soil pH reading ranged from high to very high acidity, an expected classification due to the increase in H+ concentration due to the O.M. All samples showed similar ζ values, with the lowest being 31.3 mV and 33.2 mV, which are still considered high, indicating that the soil colloids repel each other, forming a dispersed structure. Our results were consistent with similar reports in the literature; however, regionalized studies are necessary for a better understanding of the local peculiarities capable of influencing the profile of this soil.
