<p>The purpose of this guideline is to assist dam owners to determine the most appropriate consequence of failure classification for dams in their jurisdiction in a manner that is consistent across the province.<br />This guideline is intended to be a companion ...

<p>Using a dataset of preexisting mapped landslides, we create two maps that provide a firstorder approximation of rockfall susceptibility for the state of New Mexico. In natural hazard assessments, the term 'susceptibility' is used to describe the natural ...

<p>The proposed corridor of the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) passes through a significant area of karst as it crosses the mountainous Valley and Ridge Province (the Appalachian Fold Belt) in Summers and Monroe counties, West Virginia and Giles, Craig, Montgomery, ...

<p>This report aims to identify current and expected future needs for mine water management, to describe water management procedures and decisions in different phases of a mine&rsquo;s life cycle, to introduce good practices for water balance management, and ...

<p>This document aims to offer a guide to the methods for tunnel face stability assessment in mechanized tunnelling and to provide a best practice guideline for face support pressure calculations. Furthermore, the document intends to help with the choice between ...

Rockyfor3D is a simulation model that calculates trajectories of single, individually falling rocks, in three dimensions (3D). The model combines physically-based, deterministic algorithms with stochastic approaches, which makes Rockyfor3D a so-called &lsquo;probabilistic ...

<p>This regulation establishes policy and requirements and provides guidance for drilling in dam and levee earth embankments and/or their earth and rock foundations. The primary purpose of this regulation is to prevent damage to embankments and their foundations ...

<p>This report presents an overview of the earthquake-induced changes that were observed to have affected the city&rsquo;s response to flood events. Following this Chapter 1 introduction, the second chapter presents a historical perspective of flooding and ...

<p>Generally, two-pass lining systems are used for transportation tunnels constructed using the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM). The initial lining can support a significant portion of the long-term ground loads and thus reduce the design loads on the ...

<p>Potential Failure Modes Analysis (PFMA) and similar processes have become a fundamental part of dam safety program efforts for many organizations in the United States and around the world. In the PFMA process, the credible threats to the safety of a dam ...
