The efficiency of three statistical models, AHP surface-weighted density bivariate (semi-quantitative models), stepwise multivariate regression and logistic multivariate regression models were compared in Chehel-Chai watershed in Golestan province, Iran. In current study the hazard map was prepared according to the top model of landslide hazard map. Chehel-Chai watershed is located as one of Go...

Liquefaction is one of the most determinant factors in the collapse of transportation infrastructures. This is especially true for roads and railroads located on saturated, fine-sand substrates under seismic conditions. The damage and human casualties resulting from liquefaction highlight the importance of understanding and mapping this phenomenon. Soil liquefaction occurs as a natural hazard i...

it is very important to recognize the areas with high potential risk of landslide in order to resist that. in a case study, thirty three landslides have been observed in safarood watershed. the purpose of this study is to recognize factors and zonation of potential areas for landslide. this paper covers specific factors including lithology, fault, height, slope, direction, rainfall, soil, veget...

the goal of this research is gully erosion hazard zoning by using dempster-shafer theory for the garnaveh watershed (golestan province). for this purpose, at first a gully erosion inventory map with the scale of 1:200000 (dependent variable) for the gharnaveh watershed has been prepared using multiple field surveys and satellite pictures. from total gullies 70% of them have randomly selected fo...
