Mudslide plug flow within channels
TLDR
In this paper, the methods used to monitor five cases of plug flow in mudslides in east County Antrim, Northern Ireland, are given, assuming the mudslide material acts as a Bingham substance, the five cases are analysed.About:

Mass movement; the research frontier and beyond: a geomorphological approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a brief perspective of the paradigms in use which contribute to the position of the research frontier in the field of geomorphology, geophysics, hydrology, and soil mechanics.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Constitutive Equation for Mass-Movement Behavior
TL;DR: In this paper, a phenomenological constitutive equation is proposed to represent coupled pressure-dependent plastic yield and nonlinear viscous flow deformation components for modeling and classifying mass-movement processes.

Some mudslide movement patterns
Robert J. Allison,Denys Brunsden +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a study of the mechanisms of movement in a mudslide and the interrelationships between the controlling variables is made, and detailed monitoring has been conducted on a mud slide developed in the Wealden Beds, a Cretaceous mudrock.

Steady movement of landslides in fine-grained soils; a model for sliding over an irregular slip surface
Rex L. Baum,Arvid M. Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of forced circulation in the equilibrium of a landslide mass on an irregular slip surface has been investigated and a preliminary analysis of the effect of forcing circulation on the movement of landslides has been carried out.

A Coastal Mudflow on the London Clay Cliffs at Beltinge, North Kent
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe an investigation into the nature and movements of a coastal mudflow on London Clay cliffs at Beltinge, north Kent, which are undergoing moderate marine erosion.

Potentially dangerous surges in an Antrim mudslide
TL;DR: In this paper, surface movements and pore-water pressures in a mudslide at Minnis North, north-eastern Ireland, are presented, and the danger inherent in situations where large volumes of underconsolidated and therefore potentially highly mobile material can collect above a steep front slope and to the difficulty of obtaining warning of failure.

Explanation Of Submarine Landslide Morphology By Stability Analysis And Rheological Models
Joseph N. Suhayda,David B. Prior +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a rheological model describing a Coulomb-viscous plastic in effective stress terms is proposed to describe certain features of the mass movement process on the Mississippi River delta front.

Mass-movement activity: an illustration of differing responses to groundwater conditions from two sites in northern ireland
W. S. McGreal,D. Craig +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the traditional formulas used by geomorphologists for soil mechanics problems may need to be modified with respect to the observed character of groundwater conditions, and that different types of mass-movement demonstrate different responses to general groundwater conditions.

A method of monitoring mudflow movements
David B Prior,N. Stephens +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for continuously measuring surface movements of mudflows is described, based on work in northeast Ireland, which shows that the mudflows move erratically, combining periods of quiescence with accelerating and decelerating patterns.
