Interaction of transport infrastructure with natural hazards (landslides, rock falls, floods)
The significance of the transport infrastructure is going strongly up during last period. It is connected with two aspects. Firstly the interest is connected with energy consumption as about 40% of overall consumption is consumed for transport infrastructure. Secondly the interest is focused on securing the serviceability of transport infrastructure also during nonstandard conditions. Between these conditions belong not only cases elicited by human factor, as transport for example the blockade caused by transport accident, but also by cases elicited by external factors, mostly by natural hazards. The paper is focused on securing serviceability during natural impacts ‐ hazards. Floods, landslides, rock falls are natural hazards typical for middle Europe. Therefore natural hazards like tsunami, typhoons, hurricanes typical for coastal zones, or avalanches typical for alpine zones, respective earthquakes for seismic prone zones are not included in. The paper is therefore focussed in more details on the interaction of transport infrastructure with floods, landslides and rock falls with the main aim to guarantee at least limited serviceability during such events. In doing so the view of geotechnical engineering is playing primordial task.
