The environmental conditions may play a relevant role in the stability of rock slopes. In fact, weathering can contribute to the reduction of strength of the material, while atmospheric actions may ...
Gonzalez‐Blanco, Laura (Date of defense: 2017-05-31)
Deep geological disposal remains the preferred option at present for the management of long-living and heat-emitting radioactive waste, which consists of confining the waste during a very long period ...
