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.

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.

Probabilistic landslide hazard assessment at the basin scale

Geomorphology, 2005
We propose a probabilistic model to determine landslide hazard at the basin scale. The model predicts where landslides will occur, how frequently they will occur, and how large they will be. We test the model in the Staffora River basin, in the northern Apennines, Italy.

An Expert System for Landslide Hazard and Risk Assessment

Civil-Comp Proceedings, 1991
Abstract This paper describes the application of an expert system to the determination of planning applications in respect of the landslide hazard prevalent in South Wales. The system models a geotechnical assessment made by a senior engineer and the knowledge elicitation process is briefly described.

Geomorphological and historical data in assessing landslide hazard

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2003
AbstractTraditionally, earth scientists assess landslide occurrence on the basis of geomorphological investigations carried out through aerial photograph interpretation and fieldwork. Conversely, local administrators primarily evaluate the impact of natural catastrophes, such as landsliding, on the basis of historical records and data.

Deterministic Landslide Hazard Assessment at Regional Scale

GeoFlorida 2010, 2010
The paper presents a new methodology for the deterministic assessment of landslide hazard at the regional scale in geologically complex chain areas. The methodology entails site specific geo-mechanical studies, as background of any hazard prediction application, and the creation of a Regional Landslide Manual portraying the geo-mechanical knowledge ...
