Landslide forecasting is one of the emerging frontier topics in geotechnical engineering because of its need to deal with both abrupt change and complexity. Based on previous investigation and our experience with Saito's method, an improved Saito curve was drawn with four stages corresponding to the displacement process of the position on the back of the landslide. The equations and curves ...

ادامه مطلبThe Landslide Process. The term "landslide" describes a wide variety of processes that result in the downward and outward movement of slope-forming materials including rock, soil, artificial fill, or a combination of these. The materials may move by falling, toppling, sliding, spreading, or flowing.

Even the fastest running backs can't take the football to the finish line on their own—they need their teammates to …

Alternatively, some aluminum is "cold worked" -- usually by rolling, stretching forging or drawing -- to make it stronger. This process inhibits the movement of atoms relative to each other, strengthening the finished product.
ادامه مطلبA landslide is the movement of rock, earth, or debris down a slope d section of land. Landslides are caused by rain, earthquake s, volcano es, or other factors that make the slope unstable . Geologist s, scientists who study the physical formations of the Earth, sometimes describe landslides as one type of mass wasting.

ادامه مطلبScientists in the USGS Landslide Hazards Program work with colleagues at the Colorado School of Mines and other agencies and institutions to monitor selected landslides and hillsides in order to learn more about the physical processes that trigger landslides or control their movement.
ادامه مطلبPiles are metal beams (should not be made from wood because they can rot and are not as robust as metal) driven into the soil, extending into a firm rock layer below the landslide. Extra support, given by tiebacks (rods attached to a firm rock layer in the slope) and buttressing beams (beams placed at an angle downslope from the piles), may be ...
ادامه مطلبDuring this monitoring period, the creeping process of the Muyubao landslide showed obvious spatiotemporal deformation differences. The changes in the reservoir water level were the trigger of the Muyubao landslide, and its deformation mainly occurred during the fluctuation period and high-water level period of the reservoir.

ادامه مطلب3. Drainage Techniques for Landslide Mitigation. Groundwater is one of the major contributors in triggering a landslide. Therefore, to hamper the initiation of a landslide proper drainage system is required to prevent erosion and potential slumping of the surface. There are various drainage techniques that help in the slope stabilization process.

ادامه مطلبA landslide generally refers to the downhill movement of rock, soil, or debris. The term landslide can also refer to the deposit that is created by a landslide event. This fact sheet is meant to provide general information only; real landslides have many variables. THE ROLE OF GRAVITY Landslides nearly always move down a slope. This is because the
ادامه مطلبLandslides occur when masses of rock, earth, or debris move down a slope. Debris flows, also known as mudslides, are a common type of fast-moving landslide that tends to flow in channels. Landslides are caused by disturbances in the natural stability of a slope. They can accompany heavy rains or follow droughts, earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions.
ادامه مطلب2.4 Application of Model Builder in landslide susceptibility mapping. The susceptibility approach was designed by the USGS in the 1960s as a qualitative way to prepare landslide maps or to delineate zones affected by landslides, assessing the propensity of a given slope unit to generate a landslide based on spatial data (Brabb et al., 1972).
