Advances in Rainfall Thresholds for Landslide Triggering in Italy

2020
We reviewed the Italian scientific literature published in the period 2008-2018 on the topic of rainfall thresholds for the landslide triggering, with the aim of analyzing the most significant advances and the main open issues. In the international literature, Italy occupies a relevant position from both a quantitative and a qualitative viewpoint: 65 ...

Modeling rainfall thresholds for landslide analysis

2008
In essence, the task at hand is to successfully analyze landslide behavior by using a deterministic analysis of rainfall thresholds. An alternative approach for defining rainfall thresholds uses deterministic models for rainfall infiltration and slope stability testing.

Landslide-triggering rainfall thresholds: a conceptual framework

Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 2010
Abstract Rainfall-triggered landslides pose a major threat to Central America and other landslide-prone regions. The development of new tools to understand and characterize landslide-triggering rainfall is a key aspect in the context of hazard assessment and risk mitigation strategies. The purpose of this study is to present a new conceptual framework

Definition of Rainfall Thresholds Triggering Landslides in Slovenia

2017
In this paper the definition of rainfall thresholds for rainfall-induced landslides in Slovenia is presented. The thresholds have been calculated by collecting approximately 900 landslide data and the relative rainfall amounts, which have been collected from 41 rain gauges all over the country. The thresholds have been defined by the use of an existing

Catalogue of Rainfall Events with Shallow Landslides and New Rainfall Thresholds in Italy

2015
In Italy, rainfall-induced shallow landslides are frequent and harmful phenomena. The prediction of their occurrence is of social significance for civil protection purposes. For the operational prediction of rainfall-induced shallow landslides empirical rainfall thresholds based on the statistical analysis of past rainfall conditions that triggered ...

Advancing rainfall-induced landslide detection using homogeneous slope units and distributed rainfall thresholds

2021
<p>A better detection of landslide occurrence is critical for disaster prevention and mitigation, and a standing pursuit owing to increasing and widespread impact of slope failures on human activities and natural environment in a changing world. However, the detection of rainfall-induced landslide is limited in some areas by data scarcity

Bayesian rainfall thresholds for flash flood guidance

2008
The aim of this work is to determine the FFG rainfall depth and compute FFG-values based on the minimization of a Bayesian Loss Function of the discharge conditional upon the state of saturation of the catchment. Rainfall thresholds are here defined as the cumulated volume of rainfall during a storm event which can generate a critical water stage (or ...

Physically – Based Critical Rainfall Thresholds for Unsaturated Soil Slopes

2015
In this work, a physically based model for the definition of the critical rainfall thresholds for shallow landslide initiation at regional scale is presented. The model is capable of considering unsaturated conditions in the soil volume, by taking into account the effect of partial saturation in: a) the balance of mass for the pore water; b) the ...

Landslide predictions through combined rainfall threshold models

Landslides
Based on a minimum amount of rainfall that when reached or exceeded can trigger landslides, rainfall thresholds are used to predict potential landslide occurrence and are essential parts of many landslide early warning systems. Despite the extensive literature on the definition and use of rainfall thresholds, little attention has been given to ...
