2014 Canadian Geotechnical Colloquium: Landslide runout analysis—current practice and challenges

S McDougall - Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2017 - cdnsciencepub.com
Flow-like landslides, such as debris flows and rock avalanches, travel at extremely rapid
velocities and can impact large areas far from their source. When hazards like these are …

Monitoring and prediction in early warning systems for rapid mass movements

M Stähli, M Sättele, C Huggel… - … Hazards and Earth …, 2015 - nhess.copernicus.org
Rapid mass movements (RMM) pose a substantial risk to people and infrastructure. Reliable

Forecasting rock slope failure: how reliable and effective are warning systems?

M Sättele, M Krautblatter, M Bründl, D Straub - Landslides, 2016 - Springer
Warning systems are increasingly applied to reduce damage caused by different
magnitudes of rockslides and rockfalls. In an integrated risk-management approach, the …

Integration of advanced monitoring and numerical modeling techniques for the complete risk scenario analysis of rockslides: the case of Mt. Beni (Florence, Italy)

G Gigli, R Fanti, P Canuti, N Casagli - Engineering geology, 2011 - Elsevier
On December 28, 2002 a landslide occurred on the eastern flank of Mt. Beni (Florence,

Multi-stage structural and kinematic analysis of a retrogressive rock slope instability complex (Preonzo, Switzerland)

S Gschwind, S Loew, A Wolter - Engineering Geology, 2019 - Elsevier
Large catastrophic rock slope failures are difficult to predict because the underlying
mechanisms causing slope accelerations are difficult to study under in-situ conditions. For …
