<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 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 ...

<p>Observations of the performance of basement walls and retaining structures in recent earthquakes show that failures of basement or deep excavation walls in earthquakes are rare even if the structures were not designed for the actual intensity of the earthquake ...
