2. 1. Risk Assessment of Groundwater Drawdown in Subsidence Sensitive Areas

   Author : Jonas Sundell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; inverse modelling; cost-benefit analysis; probabilistic; groundwater drawdown; urban hydrogeology; economic valuation; groundwater leakage; subsidence; value of information analysis.; spatial variability; uncertainty quantification; risk assessment;

   Abstract : Groundwater leakage into sub-surface constructions can result in drawdown, subsidence in compressible materials, and costly damage to buildings and installations. When planning for sub-surface constructions where there is a risk for land subsidence due to groundwater drawdown, the need for safety measures must be carefully evaluated and managed. READ MORE

4. 2. Planning the healthy construction workplace through risk assessment and design methods

   Author : Romuald Rwamamara; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction Engineering and Management; Byggproduktion;

   Abstract : The construction industry is still one of the highest risk industries as far as work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are concerned. These disorders are the most frequently cited injury to workers, affecting many construction workers in Sweden. READ MORE

5. 3. Estimations of Hydrogeological Properties in Vulnerability and Risk Assessments

   Author : Lars Rosen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; groundwater; Markov; conceptual model; Bayes; risk; vulnerability;

   Abstract : The main objective of this thesis was to evaluate and develop approaches for hydrogeological vulnerability and risk assessments, starting with scant data and updating the results as new information becomes available. This work was performed within three separate projects between 1989 and 1995. READ MORE

6. 4. Hydrogeologic Studies on the Regional Scale: Risk Assessment and Decision Analysis

   Author : David Wladis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; well data; decision analysis; lineaments; remote sensing; conceptual model; risk; groundwater; Europe; Sweden;

   Abstract : Regional hydrogeologic studies are important components of environmental policy-making and as a basis of large construction projects. The structure of hydrogeologic studies on the regional scale is often complex, with a large number of steps and considerations. READ MORE

7. 5. Risk Management in Tunneling Projects : Estimation and Planning

   Author : Mohammad Mohammadi; Johan Spross; Fredrik Johansson; Stefan Larsson; Anna Kadefors; Amund Bruland; KTH; []
   Keywords : Cost overrun; Transport infrastructure projects; Time and cost estimation; Probabilistic approaches; Tunneling; Soil and Rock Mechanics; Jord- och bergmekanik;

   Abstract : Cost overruns and schedule delays are frequently observed occurrences in the construction of transport infrastructure projects. Such phenomena lead to the mismanagement of significant amounts of both public and private resources. READ MORE
