Hydrologically-Driven Slope Failures: Roads and Landslides
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Hydrologically-driven landslides occur frequently in steep landscapes with sufficient rainfall. It is important to evaluate the factors that commonly lead to slope failure, so that prediction and mitigation procedures can be improved where there is a risk to human life and property. The focus of this report, organized into four sections, is hydrologically-driven road related landslides. The first section covers the underlying processes associated with landslides. The second section reviews landslides from around the world and California. The third section covers the road-related and anthropologically driven landslides. The final section provides an example of slope stability assessment for the Devil's Slide site.
