Risk Based Methods for Management of Geotechnical Features in Transportation Infrastructure
The purpose of transportation asset management is to meet life-cycle performance goals through the management of physical assets in the most costeffective manner. The performance goals can include safety, mobility, preservation, economics, and environmental aspects. Example geotechnical features that can be incorporated into the broader practice of transportation asset management include engineered and native slopes, embankments, tunnels, and earth retaining structures. Currently, many agencies address geotechnical features on the basis of "worst-first" conditions, reacting to failures and often incurring significant safety, mobility, environmental, and intangible costs. The goal of risk based methods for management of geotechnical features is to implement project planning, selection, and maintenance on the basis of "most-at-risk", by identifying and managing the features with the greatest probability of failure and consequence. When analyzing risk, it is important to recognize the process will only be successful when all features that create risk are included. Further, the use of multi-tier risk based assessment approaches can identify geotechnical features with the greatest risk to transportation performance goals. The concepts presented in this paper can be used to implement risk based management of geotechnical features.
