A Simplified Approach to Assess the Soil Saturation Degree and Stability of a Representative Slope Affected by Shallow Landslides in Oltrepò Pavese (Italy)

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
The identification of the triggering mechanism of rainfall-induced, shallow landslides requires a complete understanding of the hydro-mechanical response of soil, which can be represented through the trends of the degree of soil saturation. In this paper,

A computational toy model for shallow landslides: Molecular Dynamics approach

open access: yes, 2012
The aim of this paper is to propose a 2D computational algorithm for modeling of the trigger and the propagation of shallow landslides caused by rainfall. We used a Molecular Dynamics (MD) inspired model, similar to discrete element method (DEM), that is

Mechanism of fracture preferential flow infiltration-induced shallow damage of colluvial landslides

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
Soil fissures provide infiltration channels for rainfall, and the dominant flow formed along these channels dominates the infiltration process of rainfall, leading to the gradual deterioration of landslide stability and the continuous development of ...

The Cyrilka Cave-the longest crevice-type cave in Czechia: structural controls, genesis, and age [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Cyrilka Cave is the second longest pseudokarst cave and the longest crevice-type cave in Czechia. Developed within the headscarp area of a deep-seated landslide, the cave became a focus of scientific research in recent years when new passages were ...

CALIBRATION OF DISTRIBUTED SHALLOW LANDSLIDE MODELS IN FORESTED LANDSCAPES

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Engineering, 2010
<p>In mountainous-forested soil mantled landscapes all around the world, rainfall-induced shallow landslides are one of the most common hydro-geomorphic hazards, which frequently impact the environment and human lives and properties. In order to produce shallow landslide susceptibility maps, several models have been proposed in the last decade ...

Development of shallow landslide susceptibility maps incorporating relative spacing index for forest management

open access: yesEnvironmental and Sustainability Indicators
This study aims to obtain valuable insights into forest management that can reduce the risk of shallow landslides. We developed shallow landslide susceptibility maps (SLSMs) incorporating tree height and the relative spacing index as indicators of forest
