R 13.2 Resilience of earthworks to natural hazards - Part 2
Friday, February 11 12:30 - 14:00 (Calgary)
Chair: Mr. Patrick Boisson, Chair of PIARC TC 4.3 on Earthworks, France
This session is Part 2, 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 summary of Case Studies of resilience in relation to Earth Structures (2) Measures for increasing resilience of Earth Structures on the road networks of Canada, Reunion (France) and Spain.
