Introduction According to the IFFI (Inventario dei Fenomeni Franosi in Italia) catalogue (APAT, 2007) about 4.52% of landslides inventoried in Italy until to 2008 affected the national road network. With … Read More
Time-dependent modelling of a mountain front retreat due to a fold-to-fault controlled lateral spreading Introduction The onset and evolution up to failure of slope-scale gravity-driven deformations are strongly controlled by … Read More
Geological monitoring in protected areas Introduction Geological monitoring (geo-monitoring herein) is a tool to measure the conservation state of any significant geo(morpho)logical features and ongoing processes, or threats to them. … Read More
Lithological effects on rocky coastline stability Introduction Coastline stability is an issue of concern to coastal planners, management, and engineers as the coast serves as home to between 23% and … Read More
In geotechnical and transportation engineering, especially road constructions in cuts and deep excavation problems are solved by using different supporting excavation methods. Soil reinforcements are chosen due to easy and … Read More
Introduction Oil and gas companies require dense 3D seismic geometric data to enhance subsurface images, particularly in the case of complex subsurface structures and complicated stratigraphy. However, in the 1990s, … Read More
Introduction In the recent years, as the increasing of the volume of road traffic in Indonesia, many road embankments are constructed on soft soil. In this situation, geotechnical engineers are … Read More
Introduction The structural controls on groundwater accumulation and flow exhibit a wide range of variability. Faults can act as highly permeable pathways, or as barriers for groundwater flow depending on … Read More
Introduction Karstic aquifers are of particular interest and importance to Mediterranean countries, because they contain most of their groundwater resources. Their structure and dynamics are complex [5], because they modify … Read More
