Site appraisal in fractured rock media: coupling engineering geological mapping...

Geotechnical surveys are based on collecting data from fieldwork and are a key element of rock-mass quality assessment in rock engineering. The lessons learned in several engineering projects underline the value of the accuracy of the basic geological and geotechnical data information related to the rock masses description and evaluation. An evaluation based on engineering geosciences, hydraulic and geotechnica...

Integrative Groundwater Studies in a Small-Scale Urban Area: Case Study from th...

The occurrence of groundwater in urban hard rock areas is mostly controlled by secondary permeability caused by the fracturing degree and weathering grade. Vulnerability GIS-mapping, monitoring, and infiltration/recharge of water resources, and the delineation of the environmental protective background are key issues in evaluating, planning, managing, and decision-making for urban water systems. A small-scale u...

Geotechnical Hazards in Rocky Slopes (Northern Portugal): Focused on Methodology

Interdisciplinary studies of rocky slopes stability have been performed on Northern Portugal, that allowed to establish a design methodology. This approach carries together the use of more traditional techniques, with the application of more recent technologies, such as unmanned aerial vehicles. This work presents a set of procedures that have been applied successfully in several case studies, describing the di...

From engineering geosciences mapping towards sustainable urban planning

Maps are of key topical importance in urban geoscience and engineering practice, mainly in field data synthesis and communication related to a number of fields, such as geomatic techniques, applied geology and geomorphology, engineering geology, soil and rock geotechnics, slope geotechnics, subsurface site geotechnical investigations, urban hydrology, hydraulics and sanitation, coastal zones management, urban g...
