Rainfall-induced landslide risk at Lushan, Taiwan
Engineering Geology, 2011Landslide is a frequently encountered problem in Taiwan during the heavy rainfall and typhoon seasons (July to September). Assessing the risk of landslide is a challenging task facing both the engineering communities and local authorities. In this paper we present a framework for analyzing the rainfall-induced landslide risk and demonstrate it with a ...

Slope stability issues of rainfall induced landslides
2020The slope stability issues concerning rainfall induced landslides have been investigated and are presented. The results of numerical analyses performed using a two-dimensional finite element code for unsaturated seepage are used in determining the decrease in soil suction during infiltration as well as the development of positive pore pressures ...

Rainfall Induced Landslides in Puerto Rico
2009Landslides are a major geologic hazard in the United States, typically triggered by rainfall, earthquakes, volcanoes and human activity. Rainfall-induced landslides are the most common type in the island of Puerto Rico, with one or two large events per year.

Simulation of Rainfall-Induced Landslide of the Vegetated Slope
2018Soil bioengineering methods offer an efficient and eco-friendly solution for slope stabilisation. These measures are especially effective in protection against shallow, rainfall-induced landslides, in which the potential slip surface crosses root zones.

Centrifuge Model Tests of Rainfall-Induced Landslides
2015Rainfall-induced landslides and debris flows constitute very serious threats to human lives and infrastructure. In many cases, rainfall characteristics which cause the initiation of landslides are not very well determined and this might lead to the misunderstanding of the failure mechanism, the kinematic characteristics and the run-out distance of the ...

Approaches to rainfall-induced landslides forecasting
2012Rainfall still represents the most important triggering factor for landsliding. Both shallow and deep-seated landslides can be triggered and reactivated as a consequence of precipitations. This contribution presents a series of approaches that incorporate rainfall for the assessment of landslide hazard, modes of reactivation and expected displacements ...
