Seismic Reflection: Upstream, Downstream, and on Earthen Dams and Dikes
High-resolution seismic reflection has been used successfully to characterize material and investigate a variety of problems associated with earthen dams and abutments. Limitations and challenges of seismic reflection when interrogating these structures and lithologies are nontrivial and require very critical thinking. Seismic reflection has proved an effective tool for mapping confining units ...
متن کاملReliability based design of flood defenses and river dikes
In this paper an example is elaborated of the design of a river dike, incorporating reliability-based models. The design is demonstrated with the help of this example, which is based on [1]. 1. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION A river dike has to be designed to protect a particular region of land. The goal is to minimize the construction cost and the expected loss, due to inundation. The total cost can be e...
متن کاملCosts of sea dikes – regressions and uncertainty estimates
Failure to consider the costs of adaptation strategies can be seen by decision makers as a barrier to implementing coastal protection measures. In order to validate adaptation strategies to sea-level rise in the form of coastal protection, a consistent and repeatable assessment of the costs is necessary. This paper significantly extends current knowledge on cost estimates by developing – and im...
متن کاملSedimentation and Sedimentary Rocks
Sedimentary rocks are one component of the modern threefold classification of rocks. They derive from the lithification of sediments, which are produced in basically two ways: by the mechanical deposition of grains derived from the alteration of other rocks (detrital or clastic rocks), or as chemical precipitates or grains formed organically or inorganically from an aqueous solution. The whole ...
متن کاملAlkaline Rocks and Geodynamics
105 Abstract: Origin of A-type alkali feldspar granites is currently the subject of a world-wide debate. Contrasting hypotheses have been proposed, which range from an entirely crustal origin to an almost complete mantle derivation. A-type alkali feldspar granites belong to either unimodal granite (rhyolite)-dominated association, or bimodal gabbro (basalt)-granite (rhyolite) suite. It is argue...
