Rainfall Induced Landslide Monitoring System

International Journal on Engineering Applications (IREA), 2021
Landslides are one of the natural or construction-triggered events that often occur throughout the world. These events cannot be eliminated but the effects like deaths or injuries, monetary losses, economic disruption, and so on, can be minimized. Early warning systems for landslide majorly rely on sensor nodes that evaluate geological and geotechnical

Rainfall-Induced Landslides in Turkey

2022
This Master of Science thesis presents an overview of the rainfall-induced landslides problem in Turkey. This is a serious and recurring natural hazard that unfortunately results in almost every year in significant economic losses and deaths in Turkey.

Rainfall‐induced landslides and debris flows

Hydrological Processes, 2007
AbstractIn this preface we introduce the special issue on rainfall‐induced landslides and debris flows. The topic is of high interest for many practical and scientific reasons. In fact, rainfall is the most relevant factor for the triggering of both shallow and deep‐seated landslides, and rainfall analysis is the most frequently adopted approach for ...

Experimental Investigations on Rainfall-Induced Landslides

2021
In recent times, the occurrence of natural hazards in India and around the world is increasing day by day. Landslides are one of the most destructive natural phenomena which not only cause extensive damages to the structures but also result in loss of lives.

Characterization of rainfall-induced landslides

International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2003
The northern part of Lantau Island in Hong Kong is undergoing very rapid development following completion of the Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok on the island. This development is adjacent to a range of steeply sloping hills that experience levels of annual rainfall in the range of 2000–2400 mm.

Uncertainties in rainfall-induced landslide hazard

Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 2002
The paper addresses the main uncertainties associated with the occurrence of rainfall induced landslides. Spatial variability of site conditions, local geology and rainfall contributes significantly to the uncertainty of landslide hazard. Urban landslide problems require the management of slopes of marginal stability.

Boundary effects of rainfall-induced landslides

Computers and Geotechnics, 2014
In the study of landslides, it is generally assumed that an impermeable boundary exists at a certain depth and failure occurs at this boundary. In reality this is not always the case and failures can occur at any depth. This paper aims to study the effect of boundary conditions on landslides, using a series of seepage and stability analyses performed ...

Rainfall-induced landslides in Singapore

Geotechnical Engineering, 2001
Minor, shallow landslides have occurred frequently on the island of Singapore. However, very few major landslides (greater than 10 m in height) have occurred. Slope failures in the sedimentary Jurong and granitic Bukit Timah formations have occurred largely on slopes with angles greater than or equal to 27 degrees.

Stability Analyses of Rainfall Induced Landslides

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2004
The slope stability issues concerning rainfall induced slope failures are investigated and presented. Specifically, the effect of both negative and positive pore water pressures on the stability of initially unsaturated slopes are carefully explained and coupled with infinite slope analysis methods in order to present a predictive formulation of slope ...

Infinite slope model of rainfall-induced landslide

2011 International Conference on Consumer Electronics, Communications and Networks (CECNet), 2011
Assuming slope failures of weathered soil to be shallow sliding under heavy rainfall, an infinite slope model for slope stability analysis is proposed, in which the infiltration depth is explicitly expressed by time and the seepage force is taken into account.
