<p>Landslide is a rapid movement of rocks, soils and vegetations down the slope under the influence of gravity. Landslides are by far the most common natural disaster and pervasive natural problems in the Himalayan region of Darjeeling. Every year, people ...

<p>A comprehensive literature review was conducted to examine the current state of knowledge regarding passive piles which specifically focused on the recently adopted design methods for landslide prevention. Of all the publications compiled and reviewed for ...

<p>Piles are extensively used as a means of slope stabilization. Despite the rapid advances in computing and software power, the design of such piles may still include a high degree of conservatism, stemming from the use of simplified, easy-to-apply methodologies. ...

<p>A histrorically slopw moving embankment fill landslide on Secondary Highway 682:02 accelerated to failure in the spring of 2007. The landslide was translational with the failure plane cocated between 4.5 and 6.5m depth within native lacustrine clay. The ...

<p>This is the first in a series of two papers presenting a decoupled methodology for the design of slope stabilising piles. The proposed methodology combines the widely accepted analytical calculations to obtain the required stabilising force, with non-linear ...
