fast-moving, highly destructive debris flows that can occur in the years immediately after wildfires in response to high intensity rainfall events, and those flows that are generated over longer time periods accompanied by root decay and loss of soil strength. Post-fire debris flows are ...
The use of vegetation as a Nature-based Solution (NbS) for shallow landslide risk reduction is receiving increased attention in the scientific community. Vegetation can contribute to slope stability through both hydrological and mechanical processes. Slope stability models are valuable tools to quantify ...
A mass movement can be as small as some rocks and debris you kick down a small incline or as big as the 1980 landslide set off by the eruption of Mount St. Helens. There are many kinds of mass movements categorized by the type of material involved, the way they moved and how fast ...
mechanism, existing models only consider the rubbing of the bed surface by a shear stress parallel to the slope. However, we observe that a ploughing-type erosion occurs due to normal stresses acting on the bed in the flow direction. The additional ploughing explains why beds which are mechanic...
FAST LANDSLIDES TRANSITION FROM CREEPING ... CONCLUSIONS AND MAIN CONT... Classical methods (limit equilibrium) of slope stability provide a numerical scale (the safety factor) to the proximity of failure. However, failure events are often unavoidable, especially in natural environments. In fact, ...
Especially at this scale, such approaches are still not frequently adopted in risk-management strategies for civil protection, mainly because of the need for a dedicated and often expensive monitoring system (Iovine et al., 2006; Intrieri et al., 2012), but represent a focal point in the ...
The first type of mass wasting is a rockfall or avalanche. A rockfall is a large amount of rock that falls independently from a slope or cliff and forms an irregular pile of rock, called a talus slope, at the base of the slope. Rockfalls are fast moving, dry types of mass movements....
Landslides in VM are very well-preserved features that captured the planet surface at the instant of failure; also because of this, the visible landslide deposits often show the superposition of multiple events. Landslide age is defined in a relative way based on the appearance of the main ...
It provides a reference value for the initial fast and flexible management of small landslides. Keywords: micropiles; design calculation methods; numerical simulation; pile length optimization; engineering practicality1. Introduction Landslides in China, as a common geological disaster, are characterized ...
Landslides are one of the most hazardous(危险) secondary(二次) effects of earthquakes(地震) due(由于) to the potential(潜在) for large-scale(规模) damage(损伤) and long-term(学期) alterations to landscapes. During the 2016–2017 seismic sequence(序列) in
