This book has two main aims: to demonstrate to international development agencies, governments, policy makers, project managers, practitioners, and community residents that landslide hazard can often be reduced in vulnerable urban communities in the developing ...

The main purpose of the study was to prepare landslide susceptibility maps of the five sample sites of Western Nepal (Palpa/Gulmi, Palpa, Baglung/Myagdi, Parbat and Kaski) and validate the result by model replication. A number of qualitative and quantitative ...

<p>Firstly, the report will discuss landslide susceptibility mapping methodologies including geomorphological mapping, physically-based models, heuristic and statistical approaches, review methodological comparison studies, terrain division approaches, temporal ...

The goal of this paper is to show which areas are particularly prone to earthquake-induced slope failure. In this regard, the paper considers the short- and long-term effects of geological, tectonic, climatic and morphological conditions. Case histories related ...

In this work, we exploit 19 datasets listing measurements of landslide size to determine the probability density of landslide volume, p(VL). We organize this paper by first giving a background to cummulative and non commulative frequency size distribution ...

Purpose of the commentaryThe Commentary has been prepared to:• Provide background notes to explain the reasons for adopting theprovisions of the guideline.• Elaborate on some parts of the guideline• Provide references for additional reading.The commentary ...

<p>This handbook is intended to be a resource for people affected by landslides to acquire further knowledge, especially about the conditions that are unique to their neighborhoods and communities. Considerable literature and research are available concerning ...

The largest landslides on the south coast of England are those associated with failure surfaces in montmorillonite-rich mudstones close to the base of the Gault Formation (mid Cretaceous). Those at Folkestone, Sussex (Trenter &amp; Warren, 1996), Ventnor, ...

These guidelines primarily aim to assist planners (and other interested parties) in determining whether planning documents and resource consent applications at regional and district levels incorporate appropriate information on landslide and slope instability ...

This paper focuses on origin, morphology and evolution of seven landslide dams in southeastern Sicily. These landforms are part of a set of 146 landslides recently recognised in this area, which was hitherto considered to have little or no slope instability. ...
