Engineering monitoring of rockfall hazards along transportation corridors: Using mobile terrestrial LiDAR
Download2009-01-01
Lato, M., Hutchinson, D. J., Harrap, R. , Diederichs, M. S., Ball, D.
Geotechnical hazards along linear transportation corridors are challenging to identify and often require constant monitoring. Inspecting corridors using traditional, manual methods requires the engineer to be unnecessarily exposed to the hazard. It also requires closure of the corridor to ensure...

Zhang, G., Brachman, R. W. I., Robertson, P. K.
Abstract: An integrated approach to estimate liquefaction-induced ground settlements using CPT data for sites with level ground is presented. The approach combines an existing CPT-based method to estimate liquefaction resistance with laboratory test results on clean sand to evaluate the...

Abstract: A framework for estimating the ultimate undrained steady state shear strength of sand (S-u) from in situ tests, which combines the theory of critical state soil mechanics with shear wave velocity measurements, is presented. For a particular direction of undrained loading, samples of a...

Evaluation of potential meteorological triggers of large landslides in sensitive glaciomarine clay, eastern Canada
Download2012-01-01
Hutchinson, D. J. , Gauthier, D.
Heavy rains spread over some interval preceding large landslides in sensitive glaciomarine clay in eastern Canada are often noted as a triggering or causative factor in case studies or research reports for individual landslides, although the quantity or duration of the triggering rain event has...

Christian, H., Morgenstern, N., Chillarige, A. R., Robertson, P. K.
Abstract: Liquefaction flow slides are recurrent phenomena in the Fraser River delta near Sand Heads. The reasons for these failures an unexplained and remained speculative. An investigation of a liquefaction flow slide that occurred in 1985 in the Fraser River near Sand Heads has been undertaken...

Exhaustion and steady state models for predicting landslide hazards in the Canadian Rocky Mountains
Download1993
The temporal distribution of landslides can be evaluated by steady-state and exhaustion models. The probability of landsliding remains constant through time in the steady-state model but the probability decreases in the exhaustion model as more slopes fail. Rock sliding down bedding surfaces on...

Experiments on the flow behaviour of granular materials at high velocity in an open channel
Download1984
A series of laboratory flume experiments has been conducted to investigate the flow behaviour of dry sand at high velocities. The first incentive for this experimental programme was an attempt to explain the high mobility of apparently dry masses of rapidly moving broken rock during rock...

Helical piles are deep foundation systems widely used in the North America. In order to understand the axial behavior in compression and tension, field pile load testing has been conducted on four different pile types in cohesionless soil at the botanical garden of University of Alberta near...
