Landslide Analysis and Early Warning Systems by Benni Thiebes Pdf

Recent landslide events demonstrate the need to improve landslide forecasting and early warning capabilities in order to reduce related risks and protect human lives. In this thesis, local and regional investigations were carried out to analyse landslide characteristics in the Swabian Alb region, and to develop prototypic landslide early warning systems. In the local study area, an extensive hydrological and slope movement monitoring system was installed on a seasonally reactivated landslide body located in Lichtenstein- Unterhausen. Monitoring data was analysed to assess the influence of rainfall and snow-melt on groundwater conditions, and the initiation of slope movements. The coupled hydrology-slope stability model CHASM was applied to detect areas most prone to slope failures, and to simulate slope stability using a variety of input data. Subsequently, CHASM was refined and two web-based applications were developed: a technical early warning system to constantly simulate slope stability integrating rainfall measurements, hydrological monitoring data and weather forecasts; and a decision-support system allowing for quick calculation of stability for freely selectable slope profiles. On the regional scale, available landslide inventory data were analysed for their use in evaluation of rainfall thresholds proposed in other studies. Adequate landslide events were selected and their triggering rainfall and snow-melting conditions were compared to intensity-duration and cumulative thresholds. Based on the results, a regional landslide early warning system was developed and implemented as a webbased application. Both, the local and the regional landslide early warning systems are part of a holistic and integrative early warning chain developed by the ILEWS project, and could easily be transferred to other landslide prone areas.

Predictive Models for the Development of Landslide Early Warning Systems by Biswajeet Pradhan,Neelima Satyam Pdf

Predictive Models for the Development of Landslide Early Warning Systems details advanced techniques in implementing landslide early warning systems (LEWS). It provides a comprehensive resource for practitioners including different techniques and models in landslide early warning, their practical applications, and case studies. The modelling theory is provided in a detailed but succinct format, verified with on-site models for specific regions and scenarios for different types of landslides and triggering factors. The book covers four main topics required for an efficient LEWS: monitoring, including data acquisition, transmission and maintenance of the instruments; analysis and forecasting, including forecasting methods; warning/dissemination of understandable messages alerting for the impending threat; and response. The exportability of different models is discussed in detail and followed by practical demonstrations for expert researchers' as well as postgraduates' needs. Predictive Models for the Development of Landslide Early Warning Systems offers in-depth, up-to-date best practices for implementing LEWS, based on current effective systems, new technologies, and standard methodologies at global level. This allows readers to understand universal LEWS methodologies and applications for use in their own research and development, including the use of current practical Big Data techniques.

Landslides: Detection, Prediction and Monitoring by P. Thambidurai,T. N. Singh Pdf

This book intends to decipher the knowledge in the advancement of understanding, detecting, predicting, and monitoring landslides. The number of massive landslides and the damages they cause has increased across the globe in recent times. It is one of the most devastating natural hazards that cause widespread damage to habitat on a local, regional, and global scale. International experts provide their experience in landslide research and practice to help stakeholders mitigate and predict potential landslides. The book comprises chapters on: Dynamics, mechanisms, and processes of landslides; Geological, geotechnical, hydrological, and geophysical modelling for landslides; Mapping and assessment of hazard, vulnerability, and risk associated with landslides; Monitoring and early warning of landslides; Application of remote sensing and GIS techniques in monitoring and assessment of landslides. The book will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers in adapting suitable modern techniques for landslide study.

Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice by Stefano Aversa,Leonardo Cascini,Luciano Picarelli,Claudio Scavia Pdf

Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice contains the invited lectures and all papers presented at the 12th International Symposium on Landslides, (Naples, Italy, 12-19 June 2016). The book aims to emphasize the relationship between landslides and other natural hazards. Hence, three of the main sessions focus on Volcanic-induced landslides, Earthquake-induced landslides and Weather-induced landslides respectively, while the fourth main session deals with Human-induced landslides. Some papers presented in a special session devoted to "Subareal and submarine landslide processes and hazard” and in a “Young Session” complete the books. Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice underlines the importance of the classic approach of modern science, which moves from experience to theory, as the basic instrument to study landslides. Experience is the key to understand the natural phenomena focusing on all the factors that play a major role. Theory is the instrument to manage the data provided by experience following a mathematical approach; this allows not only to clarify the nature and the deep causes of phenomena but mostly, to predict future and, if required, manage similar events. Practical benefits from the results of theory to protect people and man-made works. Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice is useful to scientists and practitioners working in the areas of rock and soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, engineering geology and geology.
