<p>The national highways are always considered as the economic backbone of the country and have often assisted development work all along their routes. The National Highway (NH-1D) is the most strategic and the only all weather surface link between the two ...

<p>This paper describes landslides and slope stability evaluation in the urban area of Kruja, Albania. Kruja is a historical and heritage center, due to the existence of many important cultural monuments, including &ldquo;Skanderbeg&rdquo; castle and Bazaar ...

<p>The Raidah Escarpment road is located north west of Abha city, Asir region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This escarpment road represents an important corridor in the area which connects different villages and tourist resorts with each other. The total length ...

<p>This report gives an overview of the issues that need to be considered in completing a risk-based approach to the management of slope instability hazards in the Port Hills. A framework and process for managing risk is described, international and New Zealand ...

<p>In this manual the aesthetics of common rock slope construction and mitigation practices can be enhanced with some modifications. Advantages, limitations, design guidelines, aesthetic value, construction materials, case examples, relative costs, and maintenance ...

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 ...

Space borne differential synthetic aperture radar interferometry (DInSAR) has already proven its potential for mapping ground deformation phenomena, e.g. earthquakes, volcano dynamics, etc covering in continuity large areas. The innovative Persistent Scatterers ...

The paper describes some experiences carried out in monitoring of two rock faces in Italian Prealps in order to detect changes due to rock detachments. Since the forecasting of possible rockfall events is the main aim of this research, terrestrial laser scanning ...

In this paper is evaluated both the structurally-controlled failure susceptibility of the fractured Cretaceous chalk rocks and the topographically-controlled shallow landslide susceptibility of the overlying glacial sediments for the Jasmund cliff area on ...

<p>The recognition and analysis of the different modes of failure are the main issues that will be addressed in this paper on the fundamentals of slope design.</p>
