This paper presents a new approach of landslides zonation hazard studies, based on an integrated study of structural data along with geomorphological and external factors, in a hilly regions of Brazil, covered by a tropical humid rain-forest, called Serra do Mar. The Serra do Mar consists of a hilly region along the east coast of Brazil, with high slopes and many geological structures in a gnei...

Abstract Recent advances in remote sensing techniques and computer algorithms allow accurate, abundant, high-resolution geometric information retrieval for rock mass characterization from 3D point clouds. The automatic application of the extracted local scale rockfall susceptibility assessment, where discontinuities characteristics play a major role rocky slope stability, requires step by logic...

This extended abstract contains two topics: stability of a pitched rock slope (in contrast to randomly placed rock) and mitigation excessive wave overtopping at an existing slope. The single layer could reasonably well be predicted by the Van der Meer formula. criteria for start damage failure, however, become much stricter armour layer. commonly used EurOtop-equations were fit influence factor...

The purpose of this study is to identify the leading causes slope instability along a local highway in Anhui, People’s Republic China. As part east expansion project, mountain range will be excavated create two-way, nearly 30 m wide highway. site’s topography consists hill with palm-shaped faces carved from limestone running its sides. geological characteristics and stability research area high...

Armor damage due to wave attack is the principal failure mode be considered when designing conventional mound breakwaters. layers of breakwaters are typically designed using formulas in literature for non-overtopped non-breaking conditions, although overtopped depth-induced breaking zone common design conditions. In this study, 2D physical tests with an armor slope H/V = 3/2 analyzed order bett...
