  1. 4-4. landslide • 4-4-1. Introduction • Definition: Movement of mass on a slope (due to gravity) • Movement can be fast or slow • Slide, slip, fall, or creep • The mass can be soil, debries, rocks, and water mixtures • July 27, 2011 landslide on the slope of Umyeon Mt., Seoul: http://www.youtube.com/embed/J2vkhY7gqQM

  4. 4-4-2. Types of Landslides • Slides: Blocks of material moving on well-defined shear planes • Rotational slides: Moving along a concave surface • Translational slides: Moving parallel to the ground surface • Falls: Sudden release of rocks or soils dropping freely through the air with little contact with other surfaces until impact • Topples: Similar to falls except that the initial movement involves a forward rotation of the mass • Flows: Moving entirely by shearing within the transported mass and act like viscous fluids • Creep:Almost imperceptible movement of material down a slope • Lateral spreads: Occurring when liquefaction in underlying materials causes surface rocks or soils to move down gentle slopes

  7. 4-4-3. Slope Stability http://www.fao.org/docrep/006/T0099E/T0099e01.htm

  8. Factors affecting slope stability • (Geological) structure, esp. joints, foliations, bedding and other layered structures • Mass on the slope • Types of the mass • Water • Climate (esp. T. and pptn.) • Plantation • Time

  9. Joints, faults, bedding planes, or any planar feature that interrupts cohesion is a risk for slope instability. Water will preferentially travel down such features, weakening them by reducing resisting forces and by weathering the minerals therein. Chemical and physical weathering play roles in slope destabilization. http://gomyclass.com/geology10/files/lecture15/html/web_data/file37contents.htm

  10. Water: small amounts increase cohesion, but add too much and it causes particles to lose contact with one another reducing both friction and cohesion. Angle of repose: this is the maximum angle of a stable slope as determined by the friction, cohesion, and particle shape http://gomyclass.com/geology10/files/lecture15/html/web_data/file35contents.htm

  11. Vegetation: Roots penetrate regolith and tend to bind particles together as well as absorb water. They are a stabilizing force on slopes. Here we see the result of vegetative loss due to fire and the resultant mass movement http://gomyclass.com/geology10/files/lecture15/html/web_data/file38contents.htm

  12. 4-4-3. Development and Landslide • Generally, landslide more frequently occurs upon development • Causes of more frequent landslide • Making geologic conditions adverse • Water seepage • Artificial alteration (change) of the slope

  14. Both natural and artificial processes can alter slope. As streams (or construction) cut into a bank, slope is increased, thereby increasing the downslope forces. Eventually the driving force becomes too great and failure occurs http://gomyclass.com/geology10/files/lecture15/html/web_data/file36contents.htm

  15. 4-4-4. Recognition & Protection • Recognition of possible landslide slope from • Geological survey • Landslide history (frequency) • Slope stability map • Various signs • Fractures on walls • Distortion of the door (window) frames • Out of alignment of the fence bars • Water leakage at the basement of the slope

  19. Reducing the risk by • Drainage improvement • Decreasing slope angle • Construction of retaining walls • Rock bolting
