Introduction With the growing demands for social and economic development and limitations on land or environments, additional tunnels are often necessary to establish links between different areas (Xiao et al., … Read More
Introduction Greece has been traditionally placed among the leading lignite (brown coal) producers in Europe. In fact, lignite is the most significant fossil fuel energy source in the country and … Read More
Introduction Without doubt, none of the arts is older than agriculture, but that of metals is no less ancient; in fact, they are at least equal and coeval, for no … Read More
Introduction The geological conditions of subsea tunnels are rather difficult to accurately explore because of the close proximity of an infinite amount of seawater. Therefore subsea tunnels are greatly affected … Read More
Introduction Mountainous glacial valleys commonly exhibit characteristic parabolic or “U”-shape transverse sections which are extensively studied and discussed in the literature (Augustinus, 1995, Harbor, 1990, Harbor et al., 1988, Hirano … Read More
Introduction An important task for a society that aims at sustainability is to be able to conceptualise, characterise and model different geological systems. The ability to transmit and store fluids … Read More
Introduction Structure-from-motion (SfM) is a photogrammetric technique used to generate a 3D pointcloud from a collection of overlapping 2D images (Carrivick et al., 2016). The SfM process starts with feature … Read More
Introduction Geological models honoring subsurface data are central objects involved in a wide spectrum of applications (Ringrose and Bentley, 2015). A model, whether it be three dimensional or two dimensional, … Read More
Introduction Since the last decades of the 20th century, there has been a rapid development in various stages of geotechnical design, analysis and computational methods. Yet, regardless of the capabilities … Read More
Introduction Rocks naturally begin as lateral bedding of sedimentary layers (Oberender and Plan, 2015). However, under the action of tectonic stress, rock folds and fractures, resulting in discontinuous rock mass … Read More
