The influence of hydrogeological risk in the assessment of existing infrastructure and structures
Given the problems relating to the hydrogeological instability to which infrastructures are subject throughout the national territory, the book wants to illustrate, in a clear and concrete examples, the techniques of analysis relating to the safety of bridges and viaducts subject to foundational, hydraulic, landslide and hydrogeological risk. From the numerical analyzes, reported in the book, it is evident that, for example, landslides or phenomena of localized erosion, for alveo foundations, are very dangerous for the global stability of the bridge as they affect existing structures often equipped with poor robustness. The risk mitigation interventions on existing infrastructures, or in the case of new realizations, such as the tie rods applied to the heads of the bulkheads, or the micropal system in the foundation, are very effective to contrast, respectively, the thrusts of the land and the loss of portions of soil below the foundations. The book, therefore, is of sure interest in sector technicians, in particular for structural and geotechnical engineers.
