The triggering mechanism and movement evolution of loess-red clay landslides, which occurred frequently along the contact between the loess and red clay on the Loess Plateau, are closely related to the mechanical properties of the contact surface. This w
The last section "Other" provides information on the number of landslides monitored by other institutions in the country, if such information is available. Table 1 Overview of the questionnaire sections Full size table The questionnaire focused on the collection of data from 75 landslides, ...
The main reach of the Baihetan Reservoir lies within an area that has the most concentrated numbers of landslides and debris flows in the entire LJR. After the reservoir is filled with water, erosion by the water body further affects the stability of mountains, causing sediment from landslides ...
A large landslide (frozen debris avalanche) occurred at Assapaat on the south coast of the Nuussuaq Peninsula in Central West Greenland on June 13, 2021, a
Californians are all, by now, well aware of the risks posed by the state's more hostile natural forces; from earthquakes to wildfires and landslides, officials have spent decades preparing the public for possible disasters. But, experts say there's one major threat they've largely been sleeping...
where X = [𝑥1,𝑥2x1,x2,…, 𝑥𝑛xn], y is the true value, and w = [𝑤1,𝑤2w1,w2,…, 𝑤𝑛wn] is the weight coefficient. Specifically, for the ith weighting factor, 𝑤*𝑖=1∑𝑛𝑗=1(𝑥𝑖−𝑥𝑗𝑥𝑖−𝑦)2wi*=1∑j=1nxi−xjxi−y2 (...
4.1. Sensitivity Analysis of Factor in Length–Diameter Ratios From the above comparisons of the results from the bearing capacity characteristics with different length–diameter ratios, the horizontal bearing capacity coefficients are respectively calculated while L/D = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0. The ...
This is causing populations of wild salmon and trout to decrease.ChemicalsSalmon farming industries around the world spend over $1.3 billion every year to try to get rid of sea lice and the diseases they bring. One of the main ways to prevent the salmon from being infected by sea lice is...
Wildfires can bring seemingly unavoidable destruction. So once the fire is put out, people begin to assess how to rebuild.1Researchers believe climate change is making fires burn hotter and longer than ever before, causing more severe damage to the land. In the wake of wildfires, we have to...
► The maximum average speed of Tangjiashan landslide is about 22 m/s. Introduction A large number of investigations have indicated that earthquakes are an important factor in the triggering of geological hazards such as landslides. Occasionally, an earthquake of higher magnitude may even lead to...
