... plan is taking place finalized to highlight situations where maintenance and repair works are needed to guarantee the continuation of service in safe conditions and functionality. Due to the number of tunnels, the need arises to classify them and define priorities for intervention on the basis...

... the identification of areas that, in the public interest, should be closed while protective interventions are put in place. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The problem In summer time, the Etruscan coast , south of Leghorn (Tuscany, Italy) along Tyrrhenian Sea, is a crowded touristic beach site. Long segments of coast present...

... is made of small bricks, without a continuous full span footbase. Since the enlargement intervention will affect the tunnel equilibrium by lowering the invert, it is necessary to adapt the refurbishment as well as pos- sible to the existing structure. Reinforcement and eventual monitoring of the structure...

The reports were usually on the designer s computer within 15 minutes after the data had been obtained from site and the necessary actions...

.... 2. INTERVENTION PLACE AND PROJECT MAIN FEATURES 2.1. Geology and Geotechnics The place of the intervention is a small marine bay with a beach, defined by cliffs with heights of the order of the 80 meters. In geological terms the cliffs are constituted by pyroclastic deposits standing over lava...

... INTRODUCTION: Rock Engineering concerns a broad field of activities, such as those related to civil, mining and petroleum engineering, as well as to the earth sciences (Rocha 1983). The economic development and the improvement of the quality of life have led to interventions in the environment...
