<p>Horizontal drains have been used since the 1930s to increase the stability of slopes by lowering the groundwater table. Horizontal wick drains represent a new technique that has proven to be effective at stabilizing slopes of fine-grained soils while being ...

<p>This technical note is intended to provide practical guidance for use by dam owners and engineers for the design and construction of chimney filter and drainage features for embankment dams, particularly small embankment dams. This technical note is not ...

The removal of groundwater from the subsurface is one of the most common remediation practices in slope stabilization. The use of horizontal drains has often proved to be an efficient and economical dewatering option for slope stability. Despite their frequent ...

The frontal fault system - the Himalayan Frontal Thrust (HFT) associated with the foreland fold - Janauri Anticline, along with other major as well as secondary hinterland thrust faults, provides an ideal site to study the ongoing tectonic activity which has ...

This paper presents seven examples of natural and anthropogenic factors which influenced changes of catchment area in the Dinaric karst

<p>The study included a review of known past failures of trench excavations, and also the current technical standards and statutory requirements for trench excavations. The study has revealed that, between 1986 and 2000, fifteen reported failures associated ...
