The Rainfall Intensity - Duration Control of Shallow Landslides and Debris Flows
TLDR
In this article, rainfall intensities and durations associated with shallow landsliding and debris flow activity suggests a limiting threshold for this type of slope instability, and the limit is defined based on the rainfall intensity and duration.Abstract:
Published records of the rainfall intensities and durations associated with shallow landsliding and debris flow activity suggests a limiting threshold for this type of slope instability. The limit ...read more

Landslide triggering by rain infiltration
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model that uses reduced forms of the Richards equation to evaluate the effects of rainfall infiltration on landslide occurrence, timing, depth, and acceleration in diverse situations is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A physically based model for the topographic control on shallow landsliding
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the topographic influence on shallow landslide initiation is developed by coupling digital terrain data with near-surface through flow and slope stability models, which predicts the degree of soil saturation in response to a steady state rainfall for topographic elements defined by the intersection of contours and flow tube boundaries.

Landslide hazard assessment: summary review and new perspectives
P. Aleotti,Robin Chowdhury +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a summary review and a classification of the main approaches that have been developed world-wide for the assessment of hazard and risk of landsliding, and several considerations concerning acceptable risk and risk management are presented.

Landslide risk assessment and management: an overview
Fuchu Dai,C.F. Lee,Y.Y Ngai +2 more
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.

The rainfall intensity–duration control of shallow landslides and debris flows: an update
TL;DR: In this article, a global database of 2,626 rainfall events that have resulted in shallow landslides and debris flows was compiled through a thorough literature search, and the rainfall and landslide information was used to update the dependency of the minimum level of rainfall duration and intensity likely to result in shallow landslide and debris flow established by Nel Caine in 1980.

Soil slips, debris flows, and rainstorms in the Santa Monica Mountains and vicinity, southern California
TL;DR: The most common range of slopes for soil slips that give rise to destructive debris flows is from about 56° (150 percent) to about 27°(50 percent).

Soil Slips Related to Vegetation, Topography, and Soil in Southern California
TL;DR: In this article, a study of soil slippage on the San Dimas Experimental Forest in southern California after several large storms in 1965 and 1966 was performed. But the results showed that most slips occurred on slopes with slopes greater than 80%.

Observation of alpine mudflows in the tenmile range, central colorado
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of alpine mudflows were observed as pulses of pulses moving at a maximum observed velocity of 980m/min (53 feet/sec) over and through saturated talus on slopes as steep as 41 degrees.
