Evaluation of rainfall-induced landslide transit characterization
… for landslide hazard analysis in this study. The Rainfall-induced Landslide Hazard Rating System is developed and applied in the landslide transit characterization analyses. The results show that landslide transit characterization varies according to geological and topographic factors in the study …

Evaluation of rainfall-induced landslide hazards and risk assessment framework [Valutazione dei pericoli da frane indotte dalla pioggia e quadro metodologico per l’analisi del rischio]
Le frane indotte dalle precipitazioni rappresentano un rilevante pericolo geotecnico per le infrastrutture lineari in regioni geologicamente complesse come la Sicilia. La presente ricerca sviluppa e valida un quadro integrato per la valutazione dei pericoli associati a frane innescate dalla pioggia …

Distinct Element Simulation of the February 17th, 2006, Leyte, Philippines Rockslide
… the island of Leyte, Philippines following heavy rainfall and four minor earthquakes. The rockslide is considered one of the largest and most catastrophic slides in the last few decades as it completely inundated the village of Guinsaugon, taking the lives of approximately 1,400 of the 1,800 …

On the interaction of ocean waves and turbulence
… of deep water surface waves caused by rainfall induced subsurface turbulence. Significant challenges in the measurement and extraction of the turbulence statistics were overcome. Observations of near-surface velocity fluctuations revealed that wave attenuation rates induced by the …

Searching for answers to the silent decline: first estimates of survival and recruitment for the critically endangered Rose's mountain toadlet, Capensibufo rosei
… were significantly related to variation in rainfall or drought-stress. I found some evidence for an extreme rainfall-induced life-history plasticity, with both survival and recruitment rates covarying closely with rainfall parameters. Although recruitment rate showed a positive relationship …

Rain Induced Runoff Simulation Using A 2D Numerical Model
… related to soil type, soil moisture, antecedent rainfall, land cover type, impervious surfaces, and surface retention. In this study, CCHE2D, a numerical model for free surface flow hydrodynamics, is applied to study the rain induced runoff and channel flow mixed problems. The main goal of this …

Guidance Index for Shallow Landslide Hazard Analysis
<p>Rainfall-induced landslides are one of the most frequent hazards on slanted terrains. They lead to considerable economic losses and fatalities worldwide. Intense storms with high-intensity and long-duration rainfall have high potential to trigger rapidly moving soil masses due to changes in pore …

Modeling of pore pressure propagation and dissipation in compressible porous media
… and the pore pressure buildup in areas with rainfall-induced landslides failures. This phenomenon of pore pressure diffusion is coupled with Terzaghi’s theory of consolidation. For that purpose, an analysis of pulse tests (consisting of measuring pore pressure response with time due to …

Environmental Influences on Tree-driven Karst Bedrock Physical Weathering
… identify how roots responded to wind gusts and rainfall events. Roots of both species exerted higher daily forces between the hours of 10:30 and 23:00, reaching daily maximum forces between 15:00 and 18:00, and exerting forces for approximately an extra hour during the fall and spring compared …

Understanding sewer infiltration and inflow using impulse response functions derived from physics-based models
… curve fitting method. Uncertainty related to rainfall induced infiltration (RII) is further investigated on six different input parameters: Antecedent moisture condition (AMC), pedotransfer functions (PTFs), soil hydraulic conductivities, initial conditions (IC), sewer pipe depths, and …

Reduzierung von Fremdwasser bei der Abwasserentsorgung
… private sewers and drain pipes as well as the rainfall induced inflow into sanitary sewers. It leads to an additional hydraulic charge, a reduced efficiency of wastewater treatment plants and thus to a higher pollution of water bodies and an increase of sewage costs. In this thesis solutions to …

The influence of the Critical Zone on hillslope hydrology and stability
… contexts. The research begins by investigating rainfall infiltration mechanisms in the stratified pyroclastic soil-mantled slopes of the Campania region, Southern Italy. Field monitoring, laboratory infiltration experiments, and physically based hydrological modeling were combined to reproduce …

Delineation of Landslide Hazard and Development of Mitigation Tools in a Vulnerable City
… Slope failure commonly occurs during heavy rainfall events when slow-moving retrogressive slides transition into earthflows and mudflows. In this study, in-situ sampling, field surveys and laboratory testing combined with remote sensing techniques were used to report on emerging slope …
