With antecedent rain, moderate intensity precipitation of at least 40 mm in 24 h reactivated mudslides and both rotational and translational slides affecting clayey and silty-clayey formations. In this case, several weeks and 200 mm of precipitation were needed to cause landslide reactivation.
Sudden slumps usually occur after earthquakes or heavy continuing rains, and can stabilize within a few hours. Most slumps develop over comparatively longer periods, taking months or years to reach stability. An example of a slow-moving slump is the Swift Creek Landslide, a deep-seated rotational slump located on Sumas Mountain, Washington.
Rockslide at Oddicombe Beach in Devon, UK Rockslides in Nigeria Landslips. A rockslide is a type of landslide caused by rock failure in which part of the bedding plane of failure passes through compacted rock and material collapses en masse and not in individual blocks.
The landslide is thought to be among the largest in history. [citation needed] Landslide which moved Heart Mountain to its current location, the largest continental landslide discovered so far. In the 48 million years since the slide occurred, erosion has removed most of the portion of the slide.
Two-dimensional analysis of translational failure mechanism allows for simulating large displacements, modelling deformation or material yielding. [41] Three-dimensional discontinuum code 3DEC [ 42 ] contains modelling of multiple intersecting discontinuities and therefore it is suitable for analysis of wedge instabilities or influence of rock ...
The rapidly accelerating complex of landslides in Rancho Palos Verdes has created an unforeseen outcome: a new coastline as the seafloor is pushed upward.
The Oso disaster of March 2014 was a landslide that caused 43 fatalities in Oso, Washington, US. [26] Delayed consequences of landslides can arise from the formation of landslide dams, as at Thistle, Utah, in April 1983. [27] [28] Volcano flanks can become over-steep resulting in instability and mass wasting.
the free length: the non-concreted length. Positioning of anchors and nails in an unstable rocky hillside When the anchorage acts over a short length it is defined as a bolt, which is not structurally connected to the free length, made up of an element resistant to traction (normally a steel bar of less than 12 m protected against corrosion by ...
