Fault zones: Geological faults are related to an increase in weathering and loosening up of the surrounding rock, which causes an increase in hydraulic routing. This lowers the rigidity of the rock and increases the risk for constructing new buildings. In the event of an earthquake, even dislocations are possible along the fault. Seismic refraction measurements enable the mapping of seismic velocities and related material properties. The lateral variations of these velocities then indicate the location of fault ...

Ship locks and lifts: A ship lock is an engineering structure which enables ships to overcome the level difference between two waterways. Water level is raised or lowered by filling or emptying the lock chambers. Filling and emptying a lock chamber is a central process of the ship lock which causes high cyclical loads on the underground. therefore, an a-priori estimate of the soil behaviour under loads is crucial for geotechnical engineers to select the best design parameters and to avoid undesired deformations on ...
