Description

This initiative aims to exchange state-of-the-art knowledge regarding advanced experimental geotechnical testing and physical modelling between Portuguese and Norwegian partners to improve engineering design, towards increasing the resilience of critical infrastructures against adverse conditions induced by climate change. Extreme climate events induce geohazards, such as storms, flooding, and landslides, which pose additional challenges to the design and risk control of these geotechnical infrastructures, since any structural failure would result in catastrophic economic and environmental
