CSIO, Chandigarh has designed and developed an instrument network around standard geotechnical and geophysical sensors and advanced associated electronics. Network was installed in 2006 for continuous instrumental monitoring of the site at Mansa Devi near ...

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 ...

<p>Early warning systems are becoming one of the main pillars of disaster prevention in natural hazards especially where mitigation strategies are not realizable. Therefore, the call for multi-hazard early warning systems and improvement of monitoring of natural ...

Catastrophic rock slope failures have caused destructive tsunamis in Norwegian fjords. At the Åknes rock slope the tsunami generating potential is large due to the potential large volume involved in a possible catastrophic failure. Widening of the upper crack ...

The occurrence of landslides in urban hillside areas poses significant challenges for risk management within residential suburbs as well as along road and railway lines. The main focus of this paper is the development of an “observational approach” for landslide ...

Risk analysis and risk evaluation are increasingly used tools for mitigating geohazards. It is commonly accepted that risk is basically a function of likelihood and consequence. However, the quantification of the likelihood of a geohazard occurring, as well ...

This paper examines the development of one particular failure, based upon a detailed data set collected as part of the Selborne has been conducted on the movement record as recorded by inclinometers located within the landslide mass. The manner in which the ...

Many options are available for monitoring unstable slopes. The remote location of many unstable slopes has created a need for systems that can be accessed remotely and provide immediate warning in case of a failure. Advances in electronic instrumentation, ...

The author's research and experience suggest a number of additional geotechnical monitoring applications for TDR. For example, foam or air filled coaxial cables can be used to monitor groundwater levels. The presence of water in the dielectric produces a characteristic ...

The landslide is occurring in rocks of the Franciscan Complex. In the area of the roadway it moves on the order of 1.5 to 3.0m/yr. Two inclinometers were installed in the slide to determine the depth to the failure plane(s). One of the inclinometers is located ...
