Modelling wet snow avalanche runout to assess road safety at a high-altitude mine in the central Andes

Nander Wever

Mining activities in cold regions are vulnerable to snow avalanches. Unlike operational facilities, which can be constructed in secure locations outside the reach of avalanches, access roads are often susceptible to being cut, leading to mine closures and ...

Measurement, Data Interpretation, and Uncertainty Propagation for Fatigue Assessments of Structures

Ian Smith, Alain Nussbaumer, James-Alexandre Goulet, Romain Pasquier, Claire Acevedo, Luca D'Angelo

Real behavior of existing structures is usually associated with large uncertainty that is often covered by the use of conservative models and code practices for the evaluation of remaining fatigue lives. In order to make better decisions related to retrofi ...

Operational snowcover simulations with avalanche dynamics calculations coupling to assess avalanche danger in high altitude mining operations

Nander Wever

The Codelco Andina copper mine is operating in high alpine terrain where avalanches pose a threat to the operations and the infrastructure. A dedicated avalanche warning service is responsible for opening and closing the heavily used access road. To suppor ...

Updated braking forces for the assessment of road bridges

João Miguel De Oliveira Durães Alves Martins

Safety assessments of road bridges to braking events combine the braking force, acting along the longitudinal axis of the deck, with a vertical load that accounts for the vertical component of the traffic action. In modern design standards the vertical loa ...

Reliability based fatigue assessment of existing motorway bridge

Alain Nussbaumer, Luca D'Angelo

This paper provides an original framework for the fatigue reliability analysis of a road bridge; the framework is applied to the Venoge bridge, a composite steel concrete bridge within the A1 Swiss highway. Two critical details are selected by inspection: ...
