TLDR
In this paper, runout analyses are used for risk assessment and design of remedial measures against rapid landslides such as debris flows, debris avalanches, rockslide avalanches and large-scale liquefaction failure.

The physics of debris flows

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model that satisfies most of these criteria uses depth-averaged equations of motion patterned after those of the Savage-Hutter theory for gravity-driven flow of dry granular masses but generalized to include the effects of viscous pore fluid with varying pressure.

Guidelines for landslide susceptibility, hazard and risk zoning for land-use planning

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a study of the relationship between geotechnical engineering and geosciences and geophysics at the University of New South Wales and U.S. Geological Survey.

Landslide risk assessment and management: an overview

TL;DR: A framework for landslide risk assessment and management by which landslide risk can be reduced is proposed, and a critical review of the current state of research on assessing the probability of landsliding, runout behavior, and vulnerability is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Landslide hazard and risk zonation—why is it still so difficult?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the problem of attempting to quantify landslide risk over larger areas, discussing a number of difficulties related to the generation of landslide inventory maps including information on date, type and volume of the landslide, the determination of its spatial and temporal probability, the modelling of runout and the assessment of landslide vulnerability.

Experiments on a Gravity-Free Dispersion of Large Solid Spheres in a Newtonian Fluid under Shear

TL;DR: In this article, a large number of spherical grains of diameter D = 0.13 cm were sheared in Newtonian fluids of varying viscosity (water and a glycerine-water-alcohol mixture) in the annular space between two concentric drums.

Slope movement types and processes

TL;DR: In this article, a fairly complete range of slope movement processes are identified and classified according to features that are also to some degree relevant to their recognition, avoidance, control, or correction.

The motion of a finite mass of granular material down a rough incline

TL;DR: In this article, two similarity solutions are found for the motion of a finite mass of material released from rest on a rough inclined plane, and the linear stability of the similarity solutions is studied.

Two‐Dimensional Water Flood and Mudflow Simulation

TL;DR: FLO•2D as mentioned in this paper is a two-dimensional finite difference model that simulates clear-water flood hazards, mudflows, and debris flows on alluvial fans and urban floodplains.

Quantitative analysis of debris torrent hazards for design of remedial measures

TL;DR: Debris torrents, which are rapid flows of soil and organic debris down steep mountain channels, are a major natural hazard in many parts of British Columbia as discussed by the authors, and a series of recent occurrences along the
