2. Landslide disaster mitigation options Risk mitigation is the final stage of the risk management process and provides the methodology of controlling the risk. At the end of the evaluation procedure, it is up to the client or policy makers to decide whether to accept the risk or not, or to decide that more detailed study is required. The landslide

The Landslide Process. The term "landslide" describes a wide variety of processes that result in the downward and outward movement of slope-forming materials including rock, soil, artificial fill, or a combination of these. The materials may move by falling, toppling, sliding, spreading, or flowing.

Exogenic (Exogenetic) processes are a direct result of stress-induced in earth materials due to various forces that come into existence due to the sun's heat. Force applied per unit area is called stress. Stress is produced in a solid by pushing or pulling. The basic reason that leads to weathering, erosion, and deposition in the development ...

The monitoring of landslide processes showed that the rate of volumetric changes at Site 1 remained rather stable during the measurement period with net material losses of 0.03–0.04 m−3 m−2 yr−1. The most significant contribution to the average annual value of the material loss was snowmelt runoff.

2.4 Application of Model Builder in landslide susceptibility mapping. The susceptibility approach was designed by the USGS in the 1960s as a qualitative way to prepare landslide maps or to delineate zones affected by landslides, assessing the propensity of a given slope unit to generate a landslide based on spatial data (Brabb et al., 1972).

3. Drainage Techniques for Landslide Mitigation. Groundwater is one of the major contributors in triggering a landslide. Therefore, to hamper the initiation of a landslide proper drainage system is required to prevent erosion and potential slumping of the surface. There are various drainage techniques that help in the slope stabilization process.

A landslide is the movement of rock, earth, or debris down a slope d section of land. Landslides are caused by rain, earthquake s, volcano es, or other factors that make the slope unstable . Geologist s, scientists who study the physical formations of the Earth, sometimes describe landslides as one type of mass wasting.

A full-scale landslide experiment was conducted to clarify the failure process of a landslide triggered by rainfall, using a loose sandy soil. The experiment used a 23-m long and about 8-m high flume, consisting of three parts: an upper 30° slope section, a lower 10° slope section, and a horizontal section at the foot of the slope. The flume was sprinkled at a constant intensity of 100 mm/h ...
