Geotechnical problems in transportation and transit systems can lead to significant and costly unplanned maintenance and renewal of transport infrastructures built above the ground. Providing safe, efficient and sustainable transport infrastructure can be challenging owing to complex geotechnical aspects of the ground. Design considerations of rail transport embankments have become critical in …
This book presents current approaches in applying numerical models to address challenges in civil and mining geotechnical engineering. This book aims to provide in-depth insights into how numerical modeling technology has helped practitioners and researchers to address the complexity of geotechnical problems, understand the behavior of geotechnical materials, and plan and design geotechnical st…
Implementing environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions is a pressing need to fulfill the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set to be achieved by 2030. Thus, the requirement to execute the design, construction and maintenance of civil engineering structures and infrastructures as sustainably as possible are big challenges currently faced by civil and geotechnical en…
