Overview geotechnical model tests on dike safety at Deltares [PDF]
Three on-going dike safety studies (on: macro stability, piping and flow slides) in the Netherlands make use of geotechnical physical models. A short outline of these projects is presented; the physical models chosen are described and discussed.

Glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has removed much evidence of earlier glaciations and interglacials in the European Alps. At Gröbminger Mitterberg (GM), beneath a blanket of LGM till, a distinctive sediment archive preserves deposits predating the LGM.

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the structural drivers of changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions embedded in trade in the state of Sergipe, Brazil, between 2011 and 2018. Using Structural Decomposition Analysis (SDA), the study identifies the contributions of emission intensity, technological change, and shifts in final demand to sectoral emission ...

Liquefaction in fluid‐saturated soils [PDF]
AbstractLiquefaction phenomena can be observed if fluid‐saturated soils are subjected to transient loading conditions, as they arise, for instance, during earthquakes. The term “liquefaction” comprises more specific liquefaction phenomena, such as flow liquefaction, which is an instability phenomenon in loose soils, and cyclic mobility, which is ...

ABSTRACT This study develops a high‐resolution regional seismic loss assessment framework for reinforced concrete (RC) bridges, focusing on direct losses due to bridge repair and replacement. Indirect losses tied to traffic downtime, business disruption, delayed recovery, etc., can also be attributed to bridge damage but are considered outside the ...

Influence of soil saturation on the free field response of liquefiable soils
The present paper presents analysis of the influence of the soil saturation on the free -field response of liquefiable soils. Analyses are conducted using a finite element program developed for partially saturated soils subjected to cyclic loading.
