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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
fast moving, dry types of mass movements. An avalanche, also called a debris avalanche, is a mass of falling rock, but also includes soil and other debris. Like a rockfall, an avalanche moves quickly but because of the presence of soil and debris, they are sometimes moister than a ...
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
