FAIR shallow landslide hazard mapping

2023
A single triggering event such as strong precipitation, may result in swarms of shallow landslides that cumulatively pose significant risks to population, infrastructure and the environment. There is large scientific and societal interest in hazard maps that display the susceptibility to shallow landslide occurrence while accounting for spatio-temporal

Modeling of rainfall-triggered shallow landslide

Environmental Geology, 2006
By integrating hydrological modeling with the infinite slope stability analysis, a rainfall-triggered shallow landslide model was developed by Iverson (Water Resour Res 36:1897-1910, 2000). In Iverson’s model, the infiltration capacity is assumed to be equivalent to the saturated hydraulic conductivity for finding pressure heads analytically.

The role of the vineyards on shallow landslides

2016
Shallow 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, 2015
Physical 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

2013
We 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, 2007
The 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 ...

Investigating and Managing Shallow Landslides in Switzerland

2014
During 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, 2008
Abstract 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, 2007
In 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.

Rational improvement of shallow landslides in clay

2006
The 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.
