Abstract:

The main focus of this thesis is to experimentally investigate the effect of grain size on the mechanism of erosion during landslides using small-scale laboratory experiments. Specifically, we have focused on the effect of the grain size of the flowing and erodible bed materials on the erosion rate. We experimentally investigated a flow of particles over an erodible base in a laboratory-scale inclined flume with different particle size combinations for the flow and the erodible substrate. The dynamics of the flow-erodible bed interface was captured with X-ray radiography. The evolving erosion

Abstract:

This thesis has examined the 30km long rail corridor through the Lower Buller Gorge, on the Stillwater Ngakawau Line, between SNL96 and 126km, using a landslide risk management approach. The project area is characterised by high annual rainfall (>2,000mm per year), and steep topography (slopes typically ≥20°) adjacent to the rail corridor. The track formation generally follows the natural contour near the base of the hillslope through the Lower Buller Gorge, and consequently involves many curves but relatively limited cut slopes into adjacent rock outcrops.

Abstract:

Earthquake triggered landslides cause loss of life, destroy structures, roads, powerlines, and pipelines and therefore they have a direct impact on the social and economic life of the hazard region. The damage and fatalities directly related to strong ground shaking and fault rupture are sometimes exceeded by the damage and fatalities caused by earthquake triggered landslides. Even though future earthquakes can hardly be predicted, the identification of areas that are highly susceptible to landslide hazards is possible.

Abstract:

Landslides display a wide variety of behaviors ranging from slow persistent motion to rapid acceleration and catastrophic failure. Given the variety of possible behaviors, improvements to our understanding of landslide mechanics are critical for accurate predictions of landslide dynamics. Recent advances in remote sensing techniques, like satellite radar interferometry (InSAR), now enable high-resolution spatial and temporal measurements that provide insight into the mechanisms that control landslide behavior. In this dissertation, I use InSAR and high-resolution topographic data to identify 5

Abstract:

<p> Many settlements in the Guatemala City Metropolitan Area (GCMA) face significant possibilities of fatalities due to their location in steep ravines that are subjected to periodic large-scale landslides. Since the housing in the at-risk areas is relatively low-cost, it is typically cost-prohibitive to mitigate the risk to an acceptable level. Thus, permanent relocation is the only truly viable option to ensure the long-term safety of everyone. However, there are several economic and social obstacles impeding successful implementation of a relocation program. Still, there are many other land

Abstract:

Landslides are a common hazard in the Chittagong Hill Districts (CHD) of Bangladesh. The communities that live on dangerous hill slopes in CHD repeatedly experience landslide hazards during the monsoon season, with casualties, economic losses and property damage. Although landslides are hazard events triggered by a variety of environmental phenomena, vulnerability emerging from a social system is predominantly responsible for disasters. With this background, this study develops an understanding of the root-causes of community vulnerability to landslides in the CHD. To begin, two distinct group

The economic rationale for public intervention in decisions regarding landslide hazard mitigation was examined through a cost-benefit analysis. A study area in Cincinnati, Ohio was used to test whether a public agency decision rule is suboptimal to a private decision rule in maximizing net benefits from landslide mitigation. A 1985 U.S. Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) report on landslide mitigation in Cincinnati, Ohio formed the basis for the cost-benefit analysis. Expected gross benefits from mitigation were determined by multiplying the probability of a landslide by an estimate of the propert

Abstract:

Contract of Simpang Pulai-Lojing Highway was commenced in 1997. Since then, the unstable hillside at a site at CH23+800 in the north-western Cameron Highlands Malaysia was cut to ridge top but instability still observed. The cutting was mainly in schist and was about 250m high. In August – September 2003, a landslide about 190m high and between 200m and 430m wide was formed at the site as the hillside was cut into for roadworks.

Laboratory studies carried out at Nottingham Trent University to develop and assess an acoustic emission monitoring system, including data processing and interpretation criteria, are described. Due to the low energy of soil generated AE and their high attenuation as they propagate through soil, a key element of the system is the wave guide used to transmit signals from depth within the deforming soil body to the sensor at ground level.

Tsunami are a fascinating but potentially devastating natural phenomena that have occurred regularly throughout history along New Zealand's shorelines, and around the world. With increasing population and the construction of infrastructure in coastal zones, the effect of these large waves has become a major concern. Many natural phenomena are capable of creating tsunami. Of particular concern is the underwater landslide-induced tsunami, due to the potentially short warning before waves reach the shore.

The deglacial history in the area is complex, and the behavior of the receding ice sheet is to some extent not yet fully understood.

Landslides cause significant damage worldwide and therefore epitomize the most important problems in geotechnical engineering. Hence, perceiving the mechanics involved in the deformation process of landslides is necessary for risk assessment. In addition to the resistance offered by basal shear surfaces, internal shearing also influences the stability and kinematics of compound landslides. For compound landslides, internal shearing is essential to develop feasible sliding mechanisms. The internal distortion is caused by the formation of shear bands that develop within the sliding mass.
