GMT : 02/11| 16:45 - 18:15 Paris : 02/11| 17:45 - 19:15 New Delhi : 02/11| 22:15 - 23:45 Tokyo : 02/12| 01:45 - 03:15 Sydney : 02/12| 03:45 - 05:15

Chair: Mr. Patrick Boisson, Chair of PIARC TC 4.3 on Earthworks, France 

This session is Part 1, presenting a series of approaches and case studies for incorporating resilience into Earth Structures. Resilience is becoming a key consideration in the design, operation and maintenance of Earth Structures as asset owners strive to identify risk associated with extreme events and develop robust earthworks solutions to support road infrastructure. The session presents (1) a definition of resilience in relation to Earth Structures (2) Measures for increasing resilience of Earth Structures on the road networks of Spain and Mozambique and (3) methods for measuring the Health of Earth Structures in Portugal.
