Distinct Element Simulation of the February 17th, 2006, Leyte, Philippines Rockslide
… investigates the February 17th, 2006 massive rockslide that occurred in 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 …

THERMO-HYDRO-MECHANICAL NUMERICAL MODELLING TO ASSESS THE ROLE OF CLIMATIC FACTORS IN THE STABILITY OF ALPINE ROCK SLOPES
… Several case studies of past and active rockslide events in the Alpine region were analyzed, for which the effects of different couplings were explored. By means of a methodological process that includes geological and geomechanical characterization of rock slopes, the definition of a …

Integrated field investigation, numerical analysis and hazard assessment of the Portillo Rock Avalanche site, Central Andes, Chile
… Avalanche (PRA) and a Holocene rock slump and rockslide. The pre-historic landslide deposits underlie both a key transportation route between Chile and Argentina and an important ski resort. The purpose of this research was to investigate the likely failure mechanism and characterise the runout …

A regional study of landslide hazards and related features in the Upper Indus River Basin, northern Pakistan
… and delineation of past landslides, rockslide avalanches, and landslide dam sites. The first order reconnaissance level inventory excerpted 2,254 landslides (mostly deep seated translational and complex slides) along the main stem of Indus River, land area of ~17000km², extending more …

From phantom blocks to denudational noise
… fragmented basal facies of giant rockslides up to denudational noise in orogen-wide data sets averaging over several millennia. This great variety of spatiotemporal scales of denudation rates is both boon and bane of geomorphic process rates. Indeed, processes of landscape …
