A pore-pressure diffusion model for estimating landslide-inducing rainfall A pore-pressure diffusion model for estimating landslide-inducing rainfall
Many types of landslide movement are induced by large rainstorms, and empirical rainfall intensity/duration thresholds for initiating movement have been determined for various parts of the world. In this paper, I present a simple pressure diffusion model that provides a physically based hydrologic link between rainfall intensity/duration at the ground surface and destabilizing pore-water...

The importance of earthquake-induced landslides to long-term slope erosion and slope-failure hazards in seismically active regions The importance of earthquake-induced landslides to long-term slope erosion and slope-failure hazards in seismically active regions
This paper describes a general method for determining the amount of earthquake-induced landsliding that occurs in a seismically active region over time; this determination can be used as a quantitative measure of the long-term hazard from seismically triggered landslides as well as a measure of the importance of this process to regional slope-erosion rates and landscape evolution. The...

Modeling and analysis of the 1949 Narrows landslide, Tacoma, Washington Modeling and analysis of the 1949 Narrows landslide, Tacoma, Washington
A large landslide failed catastrophically along steep, 90-m (300-ft) high bluffs overlooking the waters of Puget Sound at Tacoma, Washington, in April of 1949, three days after the region was struck by a magnitude 7.1 earthquake. The area of failure was investigated to estimate the static and seismic stability of the pre-earthquake slope and to identify factors that contributed to the...

Landslide susceptibility in the Tully Valley area, Finger Lakes region, New York Landslide susceptibility in the Tully Valley area, Finger Lakes region, New York
As a consequence of a large landslide in the Tully Valley, Onondaga County, New York, an investigation was undertaken to determine the factors responsible for the landslide in order to develop a model for regional landslide susceptibility. The April 27, 1993 Tully Valley landslide occurred within glacial lake clays overlain by till and colluvium on gentle slopes of 9-12 degrees. The...

Potential for seepage erosion of landslide dam Potential for seepage erosion of landslide dam
The failure potential of the debris-avalanche dam at Castle Lake near Mount St. Helens, Washington, by three processes of seepage erosion (1) Heave; (2) piping; and (3) internal erosion, is examined. Results indicated that the dam is stable against piping but potentially locally unstable against heave. -from Authors
