Improving predictive power of physically based rainfall-induced shallow landslide models: a probabilistic approach

, 2014
Distributed models to forecast the spatial and temporal occurrence of rainfall-induced shallow landslides are based on deterministic laws. These models extend spatially the static stability models adopted in geotechnical engineering, and adopt an ...

Bedding control on landslides: A methodological approach for computer-aided mapping analysis [PDF]

, 2011
Litho-structural control on the spatial and temporal evolution of landslides is one of the major typical aspects on slopes constituted of structurally complex sequences. Mainly focused on instabilities of the earth flow type, a semi-quantitative analysis

Comparison and Evolution of Extreme Rainfall-Induced Landslides in Taiwan

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017
This study analyzed the characteristics of, and locations prone to, extreme rainfall-induced landslides in three watersheds in Taiwan, as well as the long-term evolution of landslides in the Laonong River watershed (LRW), based on multiannual landslide ...

Run-out of landslides in brittle soils [PDF]

, 2016
One of the factors causing the acceleration of landslides is the loss of strength of the soil involved in the potential unstable mechanism. The travelled distance and the landslide velocity, a key factor in risk analysis, will be determined by the loss ...
