Analytical solution for tunnelling-induced response of an overlying pipeline considering gap formation
Lin, Cungang; Zheng, Junjie; Ye, Yiwen; Nadim, Farrokh; Liu, Zhongqiang; Zhao, Chenyang; Chen, Yu; Ding, Zhi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Soil-pipeline separation due to tunnelling has been certainly substantiated in previous model tests. However, this phenomenon has seldom been considered in current analytical solutions. This study formulates a tensionless ... -
Assessment of building damage due to excavation-induced displacements: The GIBV method
Piciullo, Luca; Ritter, Stefan; Lysdahl, Asgeir Olaf Kydland; Langford, Jenny; Nadim, Farrokh (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper presents an original methodology for the rapid assessment of “potential” building damage caused by an excavation. The combination of the Ground-work Impact (GI), in terms of induced greenfield displacements, and ... -
Brief communication "Landslide Early Warning System: toolbox and general concepts"
Intrieri, E.; Gigli, G.; Casagli, N.; Nadim, Farrokh (Journal article, 2013)We define landslide Early Warning Systems and present practical guidelines to assist end-users with limited experience in the design of landslide Early Warning Systems (EWSs). In particular, two flow chart-based tools ... -
Characterization of method Uncertainty for Axial Pile Design
Liu, Zhongqiang; Nadim, Farrokh; Lacasse, Suzanne (Chapter, 2018)The paper describes two approaches for deriving the mean, standard deviation and probability density function of the method uncertainty for an axial pile capacity calculation method. The focus of this paper is on estimating ... -
Decision-Based Approach to Account for Uncertainty in Estimating the Overtopping Hazard to Manage Risk for Dams
Feng, Kai; Mostofi, Azadeh; Habibi, Mahdi; Gilbert, Robert B.; Nadim, Farrokh (Chapter, 2019)This paper describes and demonstrates an approach to improve the management of risks from small-probability events that can lead to large consequences. It applies a decision-based theory to account for limited information ... -
Earthquake Disaster Risk Reduction in Iran: Lessons and ‘‘Lessons Learned’’ from Three Large Earthquake Disasters—Tabas 1978, Rudbar 1990, and Bam 2003
Ibrion, Mihaela; Mokhtari, Mohammad; Nadim, Farrokh (Journal article, 2015)This article addresses three large earthquake disasters in Iran: Tabas in 1978, Rudbar in 1990, and Bam in 2003. Lessons and "Lessons Learned" from these three earthquake disasters were investigated together with their ... -
Global landslide and avalanche hotspots
Nadim, Farrokh; Kjekstad, Oddvar; Peduzzi, Pascal; Herold, Christian (Journal article, 2006-02-08)Allocating resources for natural hazard risk management has high priority in development banks and international agencies working in developing countries. Global hazard and risk maps for landslides and avalanches were ... -
Hydrological Risk: Landslide
Casagli, Nicola; Guzetti, Fausto; Jaboyedoff, Michel; Nadim, Farrokh; Petley, David (Chapter, 2017) -
Hydrometeorological threshold conditions for debris flow initiation in Norway
Meyer, Nele Kristin; Dyrrdal, Anita Verpe; Frauenfelder, Regula; Etzelmuller, Bernd; Nadim, Farrokh (Journal article, 2012)Debris flows, triggered by extreme precipitation events and rapid snow melt, cause considerable damage to the Norwegian infrastructure every year. To define intensity-duration (ID) thresholds for debris flow initiation ... -
Landslide displacement prediction based on wavelet transform and long short-term memory neural network
Yang, Beibei; Liu, Zhongqiang; Lacasse, Suzanne; Nadim, Farrokh (Chapter, 2019)The prediction of landslide displacement is a key component of an early warning system to mitigate landslide risk. Most of the models for landslide displacement prediction are static models. Yet, landslides move dynamically. ... -

Reliability-based approach for robust geotechnical design
Nadim, Farrokh (Chapter, 2017)Although geotechnical engineers have to deal with uncertainty and risk all the time, it is not common to talk about uncertainties and risk in the profession. Uncertainties are often addressed indirectly through the choice ... -
