Shallow landslide hazard map of Seattle, Washington
2008Abstract Landslides, particularly debris flows, have long been a significant cause of damage and destruction to people and property in the Puget Sound region. Following the years of 1996 and 1997, the Federal Emergency Management Agency designated Seattle as a “Project Impact” city with the goal of encouraging the city to become more ...

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 ...

Single-force representation of shallow landslide sources
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1993Abstract A horizontal thrust fault situated at the Earth's surface does not excite any seismic radiation. Because of this and because it provides a satisfactory fit to the data, Kanamori and his co-workers have used a point force rather than a conventional moment tensor to represent the long-period Love- and Rayleigh-wave radiation from ...

COMPARISON OF SHALLOW LANDSLIDE STABILITY MODELS THROUGH LABORATORY SIMULATIONS
SGEM International Multidisciplinary Scientific GeoConference EXPO Proceedings, 2019Shallow mass movements represent a significant portion within the vast family of landslide phenomena. Moreover, their detection, monitoring and stability analysis is not an easy task. Analytical stability models are often used for the purpose. Their formulation ranges from extremely simple ones to rather complex formulations which include a number of ...

Space-Time Hazard Assessment of Rainfall-Induced Shallow Landslides
2013The paper deals with the application of a physically-based stability model that has been adopted by the Department of National Civil Protection as a prototype early warning system for rainfall-induced landslides in Italy, using rainfall data and geospatial datasets. The main features of the model are briefly recalled and particular attention is devoted

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.

Shallow Landslide Susceptibility Mapping for Zagreb Hilly Area, Croatia
2014This study was carried out to map the landslide susceptibility of the hilly area of Medvednica Mt. located in the northwestern part of the City of Zagreb, Croatia. Landslides in this region are mostly shallow movements of superficial deposits along contacts with fresh deposits of soil and cause significant economic losses by damaging houses and the ...

Hybrid Landslide Warning Model for Rainfall Triggered Shallow Landslides in Korean Mountain
2017Open image in new window This study uses a physically based approach to evaluate the factor of safety (FS) of the hillslope for different hydrological conditions and to prepare warning map of probable landslide occurrence using ensemble approach of in Mt. Umyeon, southern Seoul of Korea.

Probabilistic rainfall thresholds for shallow landslide triggering
2010We present probabilistic rainfall thresholds for shallow landslides triggering developed by using the Iverson’s (2000) physically based model. These are applied to a 180 km2 area in Northern Italy. We apply a spatially-distributed version of the Iverson’s (2000) model, using a 5x5 m DEM. To account for the uncertainty about the model parameters, we use
