Effect of long wet days and seasons, or intense and heavy rainfall on track, drainage and geotechnical

University of Leeds Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences
  Research Group: School of Civil Engineering
Background. Modelling strongly suggests that these weather effects will become more severe by 2080, particularly instances of Storm Babet and the incident at the Bradway Tunnel highlight this, and the subsequent impact on services/users. Read more
