Implementation of New Monitoring Approaches for Geohazard-Risk Management in Canada

包括公路、管道、传输线和铁路在内的交通基础设施在该国境内提供必要的互联互通，它们的适当运行需要持续监测和维护。交通基础设施面临着与加拿大不同地区有关的地质灾害以及温度和降水的季节性天气波动。艾伯塔省的山区、草原的松软土地和陡峭的河谷构成了广泛的地质灾害，威胁着交通走廊。地质灾害会导致基础设施过度变形、坍塌或堵塞，建筑物荷载过大，可能导致条件不达标，对使用者、环境和运输的货物构成风险。这项拟议的研究将评估艾伯塔省交通走廊沿线的地质灾害监测技术，以制定实施监测计划的领先做法。

Transportation infrastructure, including roads, pipelines, transmission lines and railways, provide necessary interconnectivity within the country, and their adequate performance is a matter of continuous monitoring and maintenance. Transportation infrastructure is exposed to geohazards associated with the varied regions in Canada and the seasonal weather fluctuations in temperature and precipitation. Alberta's mountainous regions, soft ground in the Prairies and steep river valleys contribute to a wide range of geohazards threatening transportation corridors. Geohazards can lead to excessive deformation of infrastructure, collapse or blockage, and excessive loading on structures which may result in substandard conditions, posing risks to users, environment and transported goods. The proposed research will assess geohazard monitoring technologies along transportation corridors in Alberta to develop leading practices for implementing monitoring programs.
