Rainfall thresholds as a landslide indicator for engineered slopes on the Irish Rail network

Rainfall thresholds express the minimum levels of rainfall that need to be reached or exceeded in order for landslides to occur in a particular area. They are a common tool in expressing the temporal portion of landslide hazard analysis. Numerous rainfall thresholds have been developed for different areas worldwide, however none of these are...

Landslide susceptibility assessment for engineered slopes using statistical and deterministic approaches

Landslides cause hundreds of deaths and billions euros of damage to infrastructure and the environment each year. In order to predict the locations most susceptible to landslides, the field of landslide hazard assessment has gone through a massive development in the last twenty years by introducing a wealth of statistical and geotechnical...
