A high-fidelity seismic intensity measure to assess dynamic liquefaction in tailings [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Deformation analyses of tailings dams under dynamic conditions require using earthquake records as input loading. Moreover, these records must represent the local seismicity, expressed by ground motion power indicators denominated intensity measures (IM).

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Different failure modes observed in Tishreen tunnel include Floor heave, wall spalling, crashing of slab, and lining convergence reaching the failure limit. Abstract Squeezing phenomena can lead to severe loads in deep tunnels, especially in the presence of a low ratio of surrounding rock strength to overburden pressure.

Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Gas Oil and Benzene on the Geotechnical Properties of Sandy Soils [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In recent years, contamination of soils by different hydrocarbon has drawn the attention of geotechnical engineers. However, to our knowledge, no systematic studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of gas oil and benzene contamination on the geotechnical properties of sandy soils.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Ground‐borne vibrations are a frequent source of environmental problems. A full‐scale experiment is conducted to validate a 3D numerical model in order to analyze the efficiency of three methods of isolation. Trench barriers and wave‐impeding blocks are impractical and expensive methods of isolation, but mass scatters appear to be an efficient ...

Understanding the Drivers of Coastal Flood Exposure and Risk From 1860 to 2100
Earth's Future, Volume 10, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Global coastal flood exposure (population and assets) has been growing since the beginning of the industrial age and is likely to continue to grow through 21st century. Three main drivers are responsible: (a) climate‐related mean sea‐level change, (b) vertical land movement contributing to relative sea‐level rise, and (c) socio‐economic ...
