Mechanical anisotropy of Opalinus Clay shale: a multiscale approach

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci, Aldo Madaschi

The mechanical properties of Opalinus Clay shale are strongly affected by the mineralogical composition of the layers and by their spatial arrangement at centimetre to decimetre scales. For this reason, accurate laboratory characterization of the mechanica ...

This article presents a mapping method that seeks to provide urban planning with a general overview of the underground resources of an urban area. Resource potentials (for buildable space, groundwater or geomaterial extraction and geothermal energy) tend t ...

Los desafíos de la modelización hidrológica y la previsión de crecidas en tiempo real en alta montaña

Anton Schleiss, Javier García Hernández, Alain Tommy Foehn

Flood forecasting systems are today recognized as a key element in natural hazard mitigation. The objective is to exploit the available observed and forecasted meteorological information to foresee river discharges up to several days in advance, using a hy ...

Analysis and estimation of gripper TBM performances in highly fractured and faulted rocks

Federica Sandrone, Jian Zhao, Erika Paltrinieri

This paper focuses on performance analysis of Tunnel Boring Machine (in particular gripper TBMs) in highly jointed rock masses and fault zones. In order to investigate possible relationships between these difficult excavation conditions and TBM performance ...

Elsevier2016

When we have to valorise the geological information for land planning or engineering applications, it is difficult to integrate the large complexity of the maps of the Swiss Geological Atlas at the scale of 1:25'000. The heterogeneity of the legends betwee ...

Analysis of TBM tunnelling performance in faulted and highly fractured rocks

Erika Paltrinieri

The thesis focuses on the study of the performance of TBMs in highly jointed and faulted rocks. Despite the great production rates recorded in favourable ground conditions, the TBM advance can be significantly slowed down in limiting geological situations ...

Cervix Cancer Spatial Modelling for Brachytherapy Applicator Analysis

Muhamed Barakovic

Standard applicators for cervix cancer brachytherapy (BT) do not always enable a sufficient radiation dose coverage of the target structure (HR-CTV). The aim of this study was to develop methodology for building models of the BT target from a cohort of cer ...

Classification of urban structural types (UST) using multiple data sources and spatial priors

Arnaud Poncet Montanges

Remote sensing and geographic information science offer many pos- sibilities in terms of availability of diverse data. Some products like land cover layers or digital elevation models can be extracted from imagery and enable the realization of 3D city mode ...

Breakdown of continuum elasticity in amorphous solids

Matthieu Wyart, Eric DeGiuli

We show numerically that the response of simple amorphous solids (elastic networks and particle packings) to a local force dipole is characterized by a lengthscale c that diverges as unjamming is approached as c ∼ (z - 2d)-1/2, where z ≥ 2d is the mean coo ...
