Cover Story: The term “multihazard” indicates the individual or combined occurrence of several hazard phenomena in a specific area. The island of Santorini (Greece) was adopted to study slope stability due to possible multiple cascading effects caused by a sub-Plinian eruption, which represents the worst-case scenario for the island. The resulting map accounts for slope stability in a static and seismic condition and after ashfall deposition. The areas most likely to be affected by these different landslides were identified together with the hot spots (structure and infrastructures), where vulnerability analysis as well as risk mitigation strategies are required.

Deformation Modeling of Flexible Pavement in Expansive Subgrade in Texas

  • Asif Ahmed,
  • MD Sahadat Hossain,
  • Pratibha Pandey,
  • Anuja Sapkota and
  • Boon Thian

The tendency of expansive subgrade soil to undergo swelling and shrinkage with the change in moisture has a significant impact on the performance of the pavement. The repeated cycles of wet and dry periods throughout a year lead to considerable stres...
