Rock fragmentation by blasting is still among the most challenging of problems in
geomechanical engineering. The intent of this work is not to develop a new overall blast …

Earth-filled dams are prone to serious erosion and seepage by water flow. Anomalous
seepage is a threat to the stability of dam structures and is a common hydrogeological …

Fluvial levees are assets of major importance for protecting human lives and activities. To
prevent the risk of failures and to assess their stability, survey campaigns involving …

To evaluate the vulnerability of the earthen levee of an irrigation canal in San Giacomo delle
Segnate, Italy, a customized electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) monitoring system was …

The development of innovative monitoring systems to mitigate the risk associated to river
levee failure is a recent challenge involving synergic effort of public institutions, specialized …

We present a study of the seasonal behaviour of soil moisture in an old embankment levee
by means of 2D DC-electrical resistivity tomography monitoring based on an embedded …

Water leakage is one of the most severe problems when the reservoir is constructed in the
karst stratum due to the existence of complex geo-structural karst zones. A cascade …

Abstract Ground-penetrating-radar (GPR) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) are two
geophysical methods widely used for shallow subsurface structure investigations. Although …

One drawback to the application of jet grouting for soil improvement is quality control,
especially the determination of the diameter and strength of the column, which depends on …

Abstract Capacitively-Coupled Resistivity (CCR) and Multichannel Analysis of Surface
Waves (MASW) were performed on the Melvin Price reach of the Wood River Levee that has …
