Slope protection with an earth retaining system: respectful of natural resources and the landscape

open access: yesEuropean Geologist, 2021
Heavy rains in June 2018 damaged a road between Echternach and Berdorf (Luxembourg) so severely that it had to be closed. The river along the road below it destroyed the existing stabilisation structures, such as retaining walls and gabion walls, and ...

Deepening an old, verticalised pit: rock slope instability hazard assessment using a digitally augmented structural database (Flône limestone quarry, Belgium)

open access: yesEuropean Geologist, 2021
We present a rock slope instability hazard study of the Flône pit (Belgium) by means of a deterministic kinematic stability analysis. The specificity of this study resides in the “digital augmentation” of the field mapping structural database (x 5) by ...

Experimental Insight into the Containment of Plastic Waste in Cement-Stabilised Soil as a Road Pavement Layer Material

open access: yesInfrastructures, 2022
Plastic waste (PW) constitutes a nuisance to our environment despite several efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle it. This study experimentally explores the possibility of storing plastic waste within a cement-stabilised soil that can be used as a road ...
