The role of the vineyards on shallow landslides
2016Shallow landslides are frequent in steep wine-producing terrains, causing significant economical damage to cultivations and the loss of high productivity soils. In this work, the role of cultivated vineyards and abandoned vineyards to shallow landslides is investigated in north-eastern Oltrepò Pavese.

Physical and numerical modelling of shallow landslides
Landslides, 2015Physical modelling is an extremely useful tool for the study of the triggering process of shallow landslides. For this reason, in this work, numerous laboratory tests have been performed using a specific flume test apparatus. A wide range of initial soil conditions (i.e. porosity and water content) has been investigated to analyze the induced effect on

Impact Pressure Measurements in Shallow Landslides
2013We reproduce shallow landslides by releasing 50 m3 of debris mixture down a 40 m long and 30° steep slope. The slope is instrumented in order to measure front and surface velocities, flow height and impact pressure on small obstacles. The mixture properties are determined from analysis of material samples.

Experimental analysis and modelling of shallow landslides
Landslides, 2007The paper presents the results of some experimental tests reproducing the triggering mechanism of a special kind of shallow landslides induced by rainfalls (soil slip) in a physical 1-g model. The experimental data have been employed to verify the capability of a simplified stability model to describe the phenomenon and to back-analyse its occurrence ...

Modeling of Rainfall-Induced Shallow Landslides of the Flow-Type
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2010The paper deals with the modeling of failure and postfailure stage of shallow landslides of the flow-type that often affect natural shallow deposits of colluvial, weathered, and pyroclastic origin. The failure stage is frequently associated to rainfall that directly infiltrates the slope surface and to spring from the underlying bedrock.

Investigating and Managing Shallow Landslides in Switzerland
2014During the past 40 years, shallow landslides triggered by intensive rain fall caused damage costs of >520 million Euros in Switzerland. These landslides have been mainly associated with relatively few storm events of extreme intensity. The Swiss Federal Office of the Environment, together with partners from cantons, research institutes and private ...

Analysing the influence of upslope bedrock outcrops on shallow landsliding
Geomorphology, 2008Abstract A model for the prediction of topographic and climatic control on shallow landsliding in mountainous terrain is enhanced to analyse the impact of upslope rocky outcrops on downslope shallow landsliding. The model uses a ‘generalised quasi-dynamic wetness index’ to describe runoff propagation on bare rock surfaces connected to downslope soil ...

The influence of rainstorm pattern on shallow landslide
Environmental Geology, 2007In this study, the influence of the rainstorm pattern on shallow landslide is examined. The physically-based shallow landslide model is used to conduct this examination with considering four representative rainstorm patterns including uniform, advanced, central, and delayed rainstorms.

The role of land use changes in the distribution of shallow landslides
Science of The Total Environment, 2017The role of land use dynamics on shallow landslide susceptibility remains an unresolved problem. Thus, this work aims to assess the influence of land use changes on shallow landslide susceptibility. Three shallow landslide-prone areas that are representative of peculiar land use settings in the Oltrepò Pavese (North Apennines) are analysed: the Rio ...

Rational improvement of shallow landslides in clay
2006The Eurocode 7 - Geotechnical Design allows: • geotechnical design by calculation, • design based on prescribed measures, • design by "observational method", • design by load testing, i.e. by model testing. The possibility of using data bases based on a combination of acceptable methods is described in the paper.
