Analysis of the Stability and Response of Deep-Seated Landslides by Monitoring their Basal Temperature
<p>Deep-seated landslides are known as large slides involving millions of cubic meters that move as a rigid block on top of a deep (below the roots of the trees and the groundwater level) basal layer of heavily deformed minerals. This kind of landslides geometrically shears as …

Combined finite-discrete element modelling of key instabilities which characterise deep-seated landslides from massive rock slope failure
… failure” (MRSF) is used to indicate large-scale landslides characterised by a variety of complex initial failure processes and unpredictable postfailure behaviour. In this context, deep-seated landslides are classified as “landslides from massive rock slope failure”. Typically, deep-seated …

Landslide hazards assessment and uncertainties
Landslides are natural phenomena which are difficult to predict because their initiation depends on many factors and on the interaction between these factors. The annual number of causalities caused by landslides is in the thousands, and infrastructural damage is in the billions of dollars. To …

The role of frictional heating in the development of catastrophic landslides
… on an existing one, applicable to large deep seated landslides and rockslides consisting of a coherent mass sliding on a thin clayey layer. The considered time window is that of catastrophic acceleration, starting at incipient failure and ending a few seconds later, when the acquired …

SAR interferometry analysis of surface processes in the Pamir – Tien Shan active orogens - emphasis on coseismic deformation and landslides
… is put on slope instabilities and consequent landslides in the area of prominent topographic transition between the Fergana basin and high-relief Alai range. The Alai range constitutes an active orogenic wedge of the Pamir – Tien Shan collision zone that described as a progressively northward …

Analysis of the central Hawke's Bay sector of the Late Neogene forearc basin, Hikurangi margin, New Zealand
… gravitationally-induced collapse, expressed as deep-seated landslides and normal faulting. While significant unconformities in the Neogene succession possibly reflect early phases in the development of the major faults in the North Island Shear Belt, most deformation of the basin fill is …
