Identifying the Optimal Combination of Critical Roadside Slope Segments Susceptible to Rainfall-induced Failures for Minimizing Vulnerability of Highway Networks
(2022-08-11)
The stability of roadside slopes is vital for the smooth operation of the highway transportation system. The failure of slopes adjacent to the highway corridors adversely impacts the network users and network operators. ...
EVALUATION OF BEST PRACTICES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF SLOPE REPAIR METHODS IN TEXAS
(2019-04-29)
Embankment slope failures occur frequently in areas with extreme weather (frequent wetting and drying periods) and unstable soil conditions (high swelling potential clay) such as state of Texas. Despite all progresses in ...
RAINFALL-INDUCED SLOPE FAILURE – AN EARLY WARNING SYSTEM
(2021-12-16)
Globally, slope failures cause substantial death tolls and economic loss. Embankments constructed on high plasticity clay are vulnerable to cyclic swelling and shrinkage when subjected to climate. Thus, over time, soil ...
DEVELOPING AN EARLY WARNING SYSTEM OF HIGHWAY SLOPE FAILURE BASED ON IN-SITU HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY OF SOIL
(2023-08-15)
Highway slope failure is globally a momentous issue. Highway slope failure poses a significant issue in transportation infrastructure. Several factors can contribute to slope failures, including geological conditions, ...
