SYNOPSIS

Engineer faces many engineering challenges developing transportation infrastructure. Road alignment may traverse through difficult and challenging ground condition with multiple geological and/or hydrological hazards.

We need to prioritize the sustainability and the long-term performance of the infrastructure without compromising the speed and feasibility of design and construction.

Many aspects must be taken into consideration to the design such as long-term durability and performance, resilience to climate change, constructability, and flexibility.

This webinar will focus on sustainable concept into selection of retaining structures, soil, and slope stabilization, rockfall protection and hydraulic works. It will also include challenges and solution together with lesson learnt from several case history.
