6. Risk Estimation of Groundwater Drawdown in Subsidence Sensitive Areas
Abstract : Groundwater drawdown induced ground subsidence is a severe problem in many regions around the world. Leakage of groundwater into a sub-surface construction, resulting in drawdown and subsequent subsidence, can lead to immense damage costs on buildings and installations in urban areas. READ MORE

7. Progressive landslides in long natural slopes : Formation, potential extension and configuration of finished slides in strain-softening soils
Abstract : After the large landslide in Tuve (Gothenburg, 1977), the author began developing a finite difference model for slope stability analysis taking the deformation-softening of soft sensitive clays into consideration. In the model, the mean down-slope deformation in each element caused by normal forces is maintained compatible with the deformation generated by shear stresses. READ MORE

8. Progressive landslides in long natural slopes : potential extension and configuration of finished slides in strain-softening soils
Abstract : A finite difference method is presented for progressive slides in long natural slopes. The method is based on a strain softening material model. A detailed worked out example is given as well as examples using a spread sheet PC program and a PC program for Windows. READ MORE

9. LCA and LCCA in the design of geotechnical engineering works
Abstract : Geotechnical engineering works are part of almost all construction and infrastructure projects. The geotechnical engineering work contributes to the impact on the environment and gives rise to costs throughout its life cycle. READ MORE
