Use of longitudinal strain in identifying driving and resisting elements of landslides Use of longitudinal strain in identifying driving and resisting elements of landslides
Observations of deformation at the surfaces of landslides in Utah and Hawaii indicate that the upslope parts of the land-slides have stretched and the downslope parts have shortened parallel with the direction of movement. The maximum displacement of each landslide occurs in a relatively undeformed zone between the zones of shortening and stretching. The pattern of deformation at the...

Landslide processes in saprolitic soils of a tropical rain forest, Puerto Rico Landslide processes in saprolitic soils of a tropical rain forest, Puerto Rico
Shallow soil slips, earth and debris slides appear to be a primary mechanism of hillslope denudation in the rainforest of eastern Puerto Rico. Annual rainfall in excess of 4,000 mm, and thick sequences (up to 20 m) of residual soils (saprolite) combine to produce these landslides. Shear strength testing and observatons of tension cracks indicate that landslides may start as tensile...

Rainfall-soil moisture relations in landslide-prone areas of a tropical rain forest, Puerto Rico Rainfall-soil moisture relations in landslide-prone areas of a tropical rain forest, Puerto Rico
Soil moisture conditions are not well documented in steep, tropical landslide-prone terrain. In the 11,330 ha Caribbean National Forest (CNF) in northeastern Puerto Rico more than 170 landslides that occurred from one to approximately 60 years ago have been mapped. Most of these landslides are shallow, with failure depths of 0.5 ot 7 m, and are associated with periods of intense...

A suggested method for reporting a landslide A suggested method for reporting a landslide
The Landslide Report is a Suggested Method developed by the International Geotechnical Societies' UNESCO Working Party on World Landslide Inventory for reporting the position, date, type, geometry, volume and damage of significant landslides.

Suggested nomenclature for landslides Suggested nomenclature for landslides
The IAEG Commission on Landslides and other Mass Movements on Slopes has proposed English and French names for 19 identifiable features of slope movements and for 7 dimensions of those features. The Commission intends to publish this list in other languages and to supplement and revise it from time to time.
