Implications of heterogeneous embankment conditions for geoelectrical investigations on dams: A case study at Mactaquac Dam, Canada

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has been shown to be effective for surveying and monitoring dams, due to the method's sensitivity to moisture content and relevant physical properties (e.g., porosity). Automated ERT systems, capable of time‐lapse monitoring, can be used to detect variations in ground conditions.

3D effects of seawater on electrical resistivity tomography near shorelines—Challenges and possible solutions inferred from synthetic and field data

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is one of the most widely used geophysical techniques for hydrogeological questions, such as investigating the groundwater transition zone between land and sea. The interpretation of 2D coast‐parallel ERT profiles is challenging because most of the electrical current flows through the highly conductive ...

A Statistical‐Process Hybridized Approach to Modeling Permafrost Distribution in a Boreal Wetland Ecosystem, Whatì, NT, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐resolution mapping of permafrost in ecologically and topographically complex landscapes remains a major challenge. Existing models of permafrost extent often rely on equilibrium assumptions, which can misrepresent conditions in regions where permafrost persists largely due to ecosystem structure.

State of the Art of Artificial Neural Networks in Geotechnical Engineering

, 2008
© 2008 ejgeOver the last few years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been used successfully for modeling almost all aspects of geotechnical engineering problems. Whilst ANNs provide a great deal of promise, they suffer from a number of shortcomings

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

The Pier Luigi Nervi's concrete structure of Palazzetto dello Sport: Modeling and dynamic characterization

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a numerical and experimental study aimed at the modeling and dynamic characterization of the reinforced concrete structure of the Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome, designed and by Pier Luigi Nervi with Annibale Vitellozzi, and built by Nervi & Bartoli contractors in 1956‐57.

Large‐scale tests of 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete bridge girders

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract An experimental investigation has been carried out as part of the BRIDGE|50 research project, focusing on large‐scale loading tests performed on five 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete (PC) girders. The study aimed at evaluating the structural response of five girders retrieved from a viaduct in the urban area of Turin, Italy, subjected to 4 ...
