The occurrence of subsidence, either by natural or anthropogenic factors, is of concern in engineering practice due to the potential impacts on infrastructure, natural resources and the environment. Subsidence is a complex phenomenon involving different processes ...

Slopes in open pit mines must be considered as geotechnical structures. Therefore their design and implementation must be conducted with all consideration including technical, economical, environmental and safety issues. But these structures are above all ...

<p>This paper shows the results of the Geological-Engineering investigations in situ and the Geotechnical-Engineering solutions to support the building of the third lot of the Water Treatment Plant, located in Calabar, Cross River State, Republic of Nigeria.</p ...

<p>In this paper detailed engineering geological characterization and performance observations were carried out at the site of the Kallat tunnel in the north east of Iran. Numerical modeling studies (FEM and DEM) based on mapped field data and laboratory data, ...

This paper reports briefly all the information reported in related papers for the Vaiont landslide, referring to the geological studies, to the chronology of events before 9th October 1963 and to the different interpretations of the landslide triggering and ...

The application of the total engineering geology approach to the investigation, design, construction and operation of several major iron ore railways in the ancient cratonic Pilbara region of Western Australia is described. The approach is based on developing ...

An example is shown how systematic application of engineering geological data and construction aspects can be combined to assess the amount of rock support and tunneling progress for a tunnel.
