Abstract
The analysis of scientific literature has demonstrated that the risk of the collapse or deformations of flexible retaining walls has not been the object of in-depth examination so far. The article presents geotechnical risks falling into five categories considering their origin. A case study was conducted to identify the risks of flexible retaining walls. In order to determine the risk of installation flexible retaining walls, the authors of the article referred to the personal interview approach, brainstorming and the cause and effect diagram. The novelty of the article is focused on investigating identification possibilities of the risk of installation flexible retaining walls and suggests risk identification in the risk management flow of the flexible retaining wall installation process.
期刊介绍:
The scope of Teknik Dergi is naturally confined with the subjects falling in the area of civil engineering. However, the area of civil engineering has recently been significantly enlarged, even the definition of civil engineering has somewhat changed.
Half a century ago, engineering was simply defined as “the art of using and converting the natural resources for the benefit of the mankind”. Today, the same objective is expected to be realised (i) by complying with the desire and expectations of the people concerned and (ii) without wasting the resources and within the sustainability principles. This change has required an interaction between engineering and social and administrative sciences. Some subjects at the borderline between civil engineering and social and administrative sciences have consequently been included in the area of civil engineering.
Teknik Dergi defines its scope in line with this understanding. However, it requires the papers falling in the borderline to have a significant component of civil engineering.
