Lucas, Daisy (author), Herzog, Ralf (author), Iten, Markus (author), Buschor, Heinz (author), Kieper, Andreas (author), Askarinejad, A. (author), Springman, Sarah M. (author)Predicting the trigger of a slope failure of a steep Alpine scree slope in south-west Switzerland is challenging. The groundwater (GW) flow from snow-melting and rainfall infiltration during summer changes the susceptibility to surficial failure, which also depends on the slope angle, bedrock geometry, stratigraphy and the shear strength of the...journal article 2020

Askarinejad, A. (author), Laue, J. (author), Iten, M. (author), Zweidler, A. (author), Bleiker, E. (author), Buschor, H. (author), Springman, S.M. (author)A series of small scale physical modelling tests are performed in a geotechnical drum centrifuge in order to investigate the triggering mechanisms of landslides due to rainfall. They are conducted under controlled conditions of rainfall intensity and duration, ambient relative humidity, wind, and temperature. These tests have been designed to...conference paper 2012
