Abstract:Transporting of extremely large indivisible loads (10 000–30 000 t) is becoming increasingly popular to allow offsite modular construction of infrastructure for oil and gas, mining, and renewable energy projects in remote areas. Such exceptionally large transient loads could encounter unusual geohazards: there is a risk of metastable liquefaction when crossing soft alluvium, causing sudden failure, potential casualties, and severe production delays. Furthermore, temporary roads for these payloads are a large c… Show more
