This type of measure is used in cases of smaller landslides. The effectiveness of micropiles is linked to the insertion of micropiles over the entire landslide area. In the case of rotational landslides in soft clay, the piles contribute to increasing the resisting moment by friction on the upper part of the pile shaft found in the landslide.
A Sturzstrom (from the German Sturz (fall) and Strom (stream, flow)) or rock avalanche is a large landslide, consisting of soil and rock. It travels a great horizontal distance (as much as 20 or 30 times), compared to its initial vertical drop. [1] Sturzstroms have similarities to the flow of glaciers, mudflows, and lava flows.
In mid-2020, the landslide began moving at a rate of 1.6–2.7 in (41–69 mm) per day, twice as fast as in 2008. A possible failure of the entire slide could trigger megatsunami waves up to 300 m (980 ft) high. [259] [260] 1950-now Siguas Valley and Vitor valley, Peru: 12 landslides of 20-80 MCM
Landslides occur around the world and have helped shape the Earth as we know it. The landslide that destroyed a rural neighborhood and claimed 43 lives in Oso, northeast of Seattle, 10 years ago ...
A landslide in which the sliding surface is located within the soil mantle or weathered bedrock (typically to a depth from few decimeters to some meters) is called a shallow landslide. Debris slides and debris flows are usually shallow. Shallow landslides can often happen in areas that have slopes with high permeable soils on top of low ...

For the first time in months, recent measurements from across the landslide area — from July 1 to Aug. 1 — showed the overall rate of land movement had decelerated, by about 1%.
The International Consortium on Landslides is a non-governmental organization created in 2002 to promote landslide research, education, and risk evaluation and reduction. It is located in Kyoto, Japan. The organization has consultative status with UNESCO. [1] [2] The ICL's journal is Landslides. It holds regular symposiums, including the World ...
