Landslide Failure Mechanisms of Dispersive Soil Slopes in Seasonally Frozen Regions

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2020
Hydraulic projects with dispersive soil in seasonally frozen regions are susceptible to landslide failures. The mechanism of such landslide failures has not been fully understood thus far; therefore, it was investigated in this study by using on-site ...

A study of stability analysis of pyroclastic covers based on electrical resistivity measurements

open access: yes, 2012
Usually, the degree of stability of a slope is quantified by the Factor of Safety whose values depend on physical and mechanical soil properties analyzed on samples of much reduced sizes or referring to very small soil volumes around porous probes.

A physical model considered the effect of overland water flow on rainfall-induced shallow landslides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background It is well know that many shallow landslides are triggered by rainfalls. In previous studies of shallow landslide models, the effect of overland water flow on slope stability was ignored. Results

Shallow landslide susceptibility assessment in a data-poor region of Guatemala (Comitancillo municipality)

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Engineering, 2015
Although landslides are frequent natural phenomena in mountainous regions, the lack of data in emerging countries is a significant issue in the assessment of shallow landslide susceptibility.

Post-failure evolution analysis of a rainfall-triggered landslide by multi-temporal interferometry SAR approaches integrated with geotechnical analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Persistent Scatterers Interferometry (PSI) represents one of the most powerful techniques for Earth's surface deformation processes' monitoring, especially for long-term evolution phenomena.

Bayesian Analysis of the Impact of Rainfall Data Product on Simulated Slope Failure for North Carolina Locations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In the past decades, many different approaches have been developed in the literature to quantify the load-carrying capacity and geotechnical stability (or the factor of safety, Fs) of variably saturated hillslopes.

Shallow and Deep-Seated Landslide Differentiation Using Support Vector Machines: A Case Study of the Chuetsu Area, Japan

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015
Landslides are one of the most destructive geological disasters affecting Japan every year, resulting in huge losses in life and property. Numerous susceptibility studies have been conducted to minimize the risk of landslides; however, most of these ...

Using the root spread information of pioneer plants to quantify their mitigation potential against shallow landslides and erosion in temperate humid climates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The aim of this paper was to quantify the mitigation potential of pioneer herbs against shallow landslidesand erosion in temperate humid climates and to identify key plant information to aid species selectionfor slope stabilisation. The objectives ranged
