<p>The two largest disturbances mining presents which requiring addressing are disturbances to the water balance and energy balance; both of which will be influenced by climate change.<br />This paper presents a framework to incorporate climate change into ...

<p>The Damhusledningen (Damhus pipeline) project in Copenhagen will improve water quality in and around the Damhus river and secure the area from flooding at downpour. The tunnel is constructed with &ldquo;Pipe Jacking&rdquo; in the top of the limestone. In ...

<p>Safety, reliability and risk analysis and management are the keywords in engineering these days. Yet while technical solutions are in many respects extended by safety margins of 30 to 70% commercial risks are limited to surcharges of the order of 1% forced ...

<p>The quantification of risk is fundamental to assessing its acceptability. When drafting codes of practice, the quantified risk is used in assessing the reliability of the structure and ensuring this complies with national norms. Problems arise in complex ...

<p>Risk analysis tools were implemented during closing activities on radioactive mill tailings disposal Bor&scaron;t, affected by a landslide. The probability of landsliding before and after remediation works was calculated and expressed through relaiability ...

<p>A great deal of attention has been devoted to the risk connected with construction design during the last period. The design principle connected with potential risks was also included in Eurocode 7 &ndash; Geotechnical Design. At the same time, we very ...

<p>Last year in the Netherlands a 5-years development programme, called Geo-Impuls, started with the ambitious goal to half the occurrence of geotechnical failure in our civil engineering projects by 2015. This paper describes the sense of urgency to start ...

<p>This paper describes the role of the Geotechnical Engineering Office, Civil Engineering and Development Department of the HongKong Special Administration Region (HKSAR) Government in exercising geotechnical control for a major railway project in HongKong. ...

<p>The increased use of underground space for transportation systems and the increasing complexity and constraints of constructing and maintaining above ground transportation infrastructure have prompted the need to develop this technical manual. This FHWA ...

The occurrence of landslides in urban hillside areas poses significant challenges for risk management within residential suburbs as well as along road and railway lines. The main focus of this paper is the development of an “observational approach” for landslide ...
