Hazard and Risk Assessment of Landslides

Computer Applications In Geotechnical Engineering, 2007
The evaluation of the safety of natural or man-made slopes involves uncertainties. With a deterministic safety factor, the geotechnical engineer tries to deal with the uncertainties by choosing reasonably conservative parameters for stability evaluation. The deterministic approach fails to deal consistently with uncertainties.

Comparing Landslide Hazard Maps

Natural Hazards, 1999
The objective of the method explained in this paper isto obtain a better insight in the decision rulesapplied by geomorphologists in the direct mapping oflandslide hazard. This can be obtained by forcinggeomorphologists to specify for each unit (polygon) intheir hazard map the criteria that they used toclassify the unit as high, medium or low hazard ...

Landslide Hazard Evaluation: The Landslide Hazard Curves

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2003
This paper presents an innovative, practical methodology to establish priorities for slope monitoring and the planning of stabilization works in large hilly areas. The study is based on the analysis of geological and geomorphological maps, identification of catchment areas, and the division of catchment areas into primary (with main stream) and ...

Assessing Landslide Hazards

Science, 2007
Despite their widespread occurrence and often deadly nature, it remains difficult to predict when and where landslides are likely to occur.

Landslides in a Multi-Hazard Context

2013
Landslides and other hazards are components of natural systems and thus are often related to each other. Since these relationships may result in unexpected effects, an approach to account for these relationships in a regional multi-hazard study is proposed.
