PROBABILISTIC EVALUATION OF LIQUEFACTION-INDUCED GROUND FAILURES TRIGGERED BY SEISMIC LOADING IN URB...

January 2017 · Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece

An issue that should be taken into account by urban planners in Greece, for the extension of urban areas, is the likelihood of earthquake-induced ground deformations. In this paper, information is provided regarding the methodology that is applied for the prediction of liquefaction manifestations in urban environment. In particular, a review of our research concerning the evaluation of the ... [Show full abstract] probability of liquefaction-induced ground disruption in three towns, Larissa, Edessa and Lefkada, is presented. The evaluation of probability was achieved using the Liquefaction Potential Index methodology and the relatively classification, introduced in late 80’s and modified by Papathanassiou (2008).

A compromise programming model for site selection of borrow pits

May 2008 · Construction Management and Economics

Road fill construction requires soil for filling low areas; this soil is obtained from temporary mineral workings known as 'borrow pits' (BP). Between a number of possible BPs, the appropriate site should be selected based upon conflicting econo-technical and environmental criteria aiming at achieving optimal BP performance while minimizing the adverse impacts to human and natural resources. For ... [Show full abstract] solving this problem a model for BP selection has been developed by this research using compromise programming (CP). The model incorporates a hierarchical structure integrating criteria and sub-criteria whose relative importance is set by the decision makers. Possible alternative BP sites are subsequently assessed on all these sub-criteria. Based upon this analysis, the model determines the distance of each of the possible alternatives from the utopia (ideal) point; the option with the minimum distance is considered the best compromise. The relevant concepts are exemplified through the presentation of a case study concerning the BP site selection for an Egnatia Motorway section in northwest Greece. The main conclusion that can be drawn from this work is that the CP approach is appropriate and valid for BP selection and, furthermore, it may also be used for other multiple objective construction-related site selection problems.
