In a previous work (J. Geophys. Res.(2004)), we have proposed a simple physical model to
explain the accelerating displacements preceding some catastrophic landslides, based on a …

Accelerating displacements preceding some catastrophic landslides have been found to
display a finite time singularity of the velocity v∼ 1/(tc− t)[Voight, 1988a, 1988b]. Here we …

Landslides are natural hazards occurring in response to triggers of different origins, which
can act with different intensities and durations. Despite the variety of conditions that cause a …

Forecasting the acceleration of slow landslides to the point of catastrophic failure is crucial. It
follows the Voight power-law model with the power exponent α, which is typically close to 2 …

Abstract The Vaiont landslide (Southern Alps, Italy) represents one of the most catastrophic
landslides in the world recorded in the modern history. The landslide, occurred on 9th …

Catastrophic landslides cause billions of dollars in damages and claim thousands of lives
annually, whereas slow-moving landslides with negligible inertia dominate sediment …

Two microcomputer-based numerical models (Dynamic ANalysis (DAN) and three-
dimensional model DAN (DAN3D)) have been developed and extensively used for analysis …

Slope movements (eg landslides) are dynamic systems that are complex in time and space
and closely linked to both inherited and current preparatory and triggering controls. It is not …

From landslide mapping it is known that the frequency of landslide occurence as a function
of their magnitude can be described by a power law in many regions. In order to investigate …

Numerical modelling represents a powerful technique to develop a quantitative assessment
of the stress–strain mechanisms leading to either first-time slope failures or evolution of …
