Environmental Laws in Nigeria and Occurrence of Some Geohazards: A Review [PDF]

, 2017
Nigeria as a country is blessed with an abundance of both human and natural resources. Exploitation of natural resources in Nigeria over the years with little or no regard for the environment has increased susceptibility of parts of the country to ...

Controlling parameters for rainfall-induced landslides

Computers and Geotechnics, 2002
Slope instability due to rainfall is a common geotechnical problem in tropical and subtropical areas. The numerical analysis of this problem requires the definition of various hydrological characteristics of the soil in addition to the climatic information.

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 ...
