... Abstract The present papers deals with in situ characterization of rock formations as per Schmidt Rebound Hammer classification values (R) and portrays a model for spatial susceptibility of landslides in mountainous terrain. A geotechnical classification of rock masses depending on the range...

... Abstract The pregnant and sliding mechanism of rock landslides was firstly obtained, comparative analysis of modern typical rock landslides information. Then, the failure mechanism of rock landslides was simulated selected a typical rocky bedding landslide as prototype, which damaged mainly...

... ABSTRACT The National Road RN 91 has been threatened for about twenty-five years by a huge landslide, located 25 km south-east to the town of Grenoble (France). If several million cubic meters of rock fall down, the debris will dam the valley. Then the failure of the dam by overtopping...

... that in the footwall;? ?2 the strong development zones of geo-hazards are within the range of 7 km in the hanging wall of co-seismic fault. The ranges of 7 to 11km in the hanging wall and o to 5km in the footwall can be delimited as the middle development zones. A vast majority of large-scale landslides...

...ISRM-Sponsored International Symposium on Rock Mechanics: Rock Characterisation, Modelling and Engineering Design Methods 1 INTRODUCTION Barrier lakes are usually formed by landslides, moraines, debris flows, and volcanic eruptions or flows when they run into and dam up rivers. Barrier lakes...

... ABSTRACT The Vagli arc-gravity dam (95.50m in high), in the Northern Apennines (Italy), was built in the early '50s of the last century. Its basin contains about 34Mm3 and is one of the largest hydroelectric basins in the peninsular, Italy. Early after the water in-filling, a large landslide...
