... in the landslide body as a basis for geotechnical modelling of slope stability, all for the purpose of planning the Golden Hill farm estate development near the town of Smederevo, Yugoslavia, i.e. preparing optimum measures of protection. INTRODUCTION For the purpose of determining geotechnical parameters...

... demonstrate that the instability mechanism which affects the slope can be described as a "complex landslide" made up of separate landslides. They originated in the last offshoot of an ancient mass movement but differentiated due to different lithological conditions and geological setting. INTRODUCTION...

... overlying weathered tuffacous siltstone. The first earth flow (Fox Hollow Landslide) had a long history, since 1972, of movements ranging from 3 to 6 m during the wet, winter months. The large-scale movement required periodic maintenance of the arterial to remove encroaching soil debris. The second earth...

... ABSTRACT: Landslide in intensive seismic zone has its peculiar features. Some slope may be stable under static load (normal state). When the slope is in limit equilibrium state, even a slight earthquake may trigger it to destabilize. An intensive earthquake may directly cause a whole slope...

...LANDSLIDES IN THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST Tatyana I. Podgornaia1 LANDSLIDES IN THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST Landslide research has a big practical meaning for the Russian Far East, since the disturbance of slopes and the formation of landslides cause significant risks in the building development of the region...

... ABSTRACT: The factors that influence landslide susceptibility, hazard and risk as well as the development of relevant maps in a GIS environment have been discussed by a number of authors including the writers. A number of approaches for qualitative or quantitative landslide risk assessments...

... ABSTRACT: A large number of inhabited areas are prone to landslide phenomena, due to the accumulation of a series of negative factors. The determination of appropriate places for safe urban development within the community boundaries can be achieved through analysis of the parameters...

... support system and the examination of a landslide in Edinburgh, Scotland. The paper highlights the potential benefits of the integrated use of bio-engineering techniques and conventional stabilising methods INTRODUCTION The number of alternatives for soil slope stabilisation is large; ranging from simple...

... ABSTRACT: Many developments and researches for landslide planning are in progress to find reliable methods for stability analysis which is the main backbone for the countermeasure planning. However all of them consider the shear intercept (c) by thumb rule and calculate internal friction angle...

... and consists of soil and rock. Gradual landsliding is in progress due to continual heavy rainfalls. This paper describes slope stability analyses performed to assess the appropriate methods of stabilization. For the numerical analyses, the slopes were divided into several parts by soil layers, slope height...

..., and there is little, if any, dissipation for tests on the mixture with 30% loess. INTRODUCTION A fluidized landslide is usually characterized by high mobility and long run-out distance, and then followed by tremendous hazards. It is always the result of liquefaction, a process during which high pore water...

... ABSTRACT: Mikabu Belt in Shikoku Region of Japan is a geological series of green rock, where a number of large-scale landslides are in an active state. Slip layer soils of the landslides in this belt mostly consist of weathered green rock, which sometimes is also known as green tuff. Being...

In this paper recent results will be presented of these measurements in progress as well as results of back calculations. INSTRUMENTATION OF SLOPES AT LÜHNDE For a navigable...

..., Italy), where the epicentre of the November 1980 earthquake (Ms=6.9) occurred. A landslide was activated on the Vadoncello slope on 29 December 1993. At its toe there is the Serra dell'Acquara landslide, a 2.5 km long slump-earthflow, which is quiescent at present but was mobilized by the 1980...

..., however, even this is not achieved. This is the case for construction in the landslide area located in St. Moritz in the Swiss Alps. SITUATION AND GEOLOGY The Brattas-Fullun landslide is located on the northern slope above the village of St. Moritz. The landslide is composed of a 600 m wide clastic...

... ABSTRACT: A major landslide has influenced a 300 metre length of the South Coast Railway track for the past fifty years. The landslide was intermittently active and an eductor dewatering system and its predecessor, a dewatering main, operated at the site since the early 1970's. Operational...
