Improving Safety Performance of Construction Workers through Learning from Incidents
Learning from incidents (LFI) is a process to seek, analyse, and disseminate the severity and causes of incidents, and take corrective measures to prevent the recurrence of similar events.

A NEW APPROACH FOR STABILITY ANALYSIS OF SOIL SLOPES USING A LIMIT EQUILIBRIUM METHOD [PDF]
Slope stability analysis is used in a wide variety of geotechnical engineering problems such as embankments, road cuts, open-pit mining, excavations, c ...

A simplified geostatistical approach was adopted to assess the effect of spatial variability of soil properties on slope stability analysis in order to understand continental margin geologic processes and potential geohazards for an area of the central ...

Discussion on the Safety Factors of Slopes Recommended for Small Dams
The design and assessment of the slope stability of small embankment dams is usually not carried out using slope stability calculations but rather by the comparison of proposed or existing dam slopes with those recommended by technical standards or ...

To detect areas with the potential for landslides, slopes are routinely subjected to stability analyses. To this end, there is a need to adopt appropriate mitigation techniques. In general, the stability of slopes with circular failure mode is defined as

A study of stability analysis of pyroclastic covers based on electrical resistivity measurements
Usually, the degree of stability of a slope is quantified by the Factor of Safety whose values depend on physical and mechanical soil properties analyzed on samples of much reduced sizes or referring to very small soil volumes around porous probes.

Cholesterol and the Safety Factor for Neuromuscular Transmission
A present review is devoted to the analysis of literature data and results of own research. Skeletal muscle neuromuscular junction is specialized to trigger the striated muscle fiber contraction in response to motor neuron activity.

Evaluation of safety factors in discontinuous rock [PDF]
Safety factors for kinematically admissible failure mechanisms in jointed rock masses have been defined with linear and nonlinear failure criteria for rock discontinuities. Data required to compute these safety factors are obtained by means of two finite element analyses of the effects of selfweight and external (structural) loading,

Exploratory study into a safety format for composite columns exposed to fire [PDF]
Current performance based structural fire engineering approaches evaluate structural behaviour under prescribed fire scenarios. The mechanical properties of the materials, the load conditions and geometric parameters are all however fraught with ...
