Landslide Hazards and Their Reduction
Journal of the American Planning Association, 1979Abstract Landslides are a widespread and costly problem in many parts of the United States. Although reliable estimates of the costs of landslide damage are difficult to obtain, a conservative estimate of the present-day direct and indirect costs of slope failures in the United States exceeds $1 billion annually.

Geomechanics of hazardous landslides
Journal of Mountain Science, 2005A catalogue of possible landslide initial failure mechanisms, taking into account the geological setting and the geometry of the slope, the joint structure, the habitus of the rock blocks, as well as the mechanical behaviour of the rocks and of the rock mass (deformation and strength parameters), is presented.

Landslides occur frequently in connection with other types of hazardous phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activities. Strong earthquakes often cause a large number of landslides, including large-scale landslides, in mountainous areas. Volcanic activities could trigger giant landslides or debris avalanches on mountain slopes. It is not uncommon

Landslides continue to cause costly damage and loss of lives. Many techniques are available for reducing landslide hazards; 27 are described in this paper. An overview of these techniques is useful to planners who implement hazard-reduction programs, to engineers who serve as advisors to local or state governments, and to decisionmakers who select the ...

Worldwide, millions of dollars in property damage and loss of life are attributed to landslides annually. Landslides are frequent hazards in tectonically active mountain belts such as the Himalayas, Southern Alps of New Zealand, New Guinea, Japan, and the Andes, where uplift generates high topographic relief Steep slopes associated with regions of high

Two models for evaluating landslide hazards
Computers & Geosciences, 2006Abstract Two alternative procedures for estimating landslide hazards were evaluated using data on topographic digital elevation models (DEMs) and bedrock lithologies in an area adjacent to the Missouri River in Atchison County, Kansas, USA. The two procedures are based on the likelihood ratio model but utilize different assumptions.

Landslides, ground settlement and avalanches interfere widely and persistently with man’s activities. The scale ranges from slumps a few meters in dimension, causing only minor inconvenience, to rare gigantic slides or avalanches, kilometers in size, affecting sizeable populations.

Gis Technology in Mapping Landslide Hazard
1995In the recent years, the ever-increasing diffusion of GIS technology has facilitated the application of quantitative techniques in landslide hazard assessment. Today a wider spectrum of instability causal factors, mainly morphological and geological in nature, can be cost-effectively acquired, stored and analysed in digital form.

Glossary of Terms on Landslide Hazard and Risk
2015In the last decades much effort has been devoted to the development of methodologies for landslide hazard and risk assessment. Although there are a few available glossaries, a review of the literature published in international journals and conferences show that the terminologies used differ greatly or are unclear.
