Long-runout landslides are landslides with volumes of 10 m or more, which move much farther from their source than expected. The observation that Martian landslides are generally less mobile than terrestrial landslides offers important evidence regarding the mechanism responsible for the high mobility of long-runout landslides. Here we simulate landslides as granular flow using a soft-particle ...

Earthquake and its catastrophic failures has been one of the disturbance worry of Civil Engineers. In geotechnical science, liquefaction is one of the most important phenomenons induced by earthquake. A change in pore water pressure follows a change in effective stress, and in a critical state in which pore water pressure equals the total stress in soil particles, soil strength is suddenly lost...

Landslide is a growing global threat and has been destroying lives and property of humankind. In most cases, the damages inflicted could be mitigated if there is a proper knowledge and awareness among the students. Students are playing an important role in maintaining a safe environment and harmony as well as the hope of the nation. Moreover, they themselves become victims to the threat of land...

Mapping landslides and building landslides inventory have received a special attention from a wide range of specialist. In building a landslide inventory an important step is the spatial delineation of the landslides body, followed by the landslides classification according with an international used classification system and the identification of other landslides characteristics. The main meth...

This study analyzed the characteristics of, and locations prone to, extreme rainfall-induced landslides in three watersheds in Taiwan, as well as the long-term evolution of landslides in the Laonong River watershed (LRW), based on multiannual landslide inventories during 2003–2014. Extreme rainfall-induced landslides were centralized beside sinuous or meandering reaches, especially those with l...

A period of bad weather conditions due to prolonged intense rainfall and strong winds can trigger landslides, floods, secondary floods (accumulation of rain on surfaces with low permeability), and sea storms, causing damage to humans and infrastructure. As a whole, these periods of bad weather and triggered phenomena can be defined as damaging hydrogeological events (DHEs). We define a methodol...

Slope instability research and susceptibility mapping is a fundamental component of hazard management in decreasing the risk of living with landslides. Landslide susceptibility is defined as the proneness of the terrain to produce slope failures and susceptibility is usually expressed in a cartographic way. The Dena city in Iran is a landslide prone zone because of its own characteristics inclu...
