Excessive rainfall is considered the major landslide triggering mechanism, especially in
tropical climate regions. During rainfall, water infiltrates into the subsurface; reducing the …

Mitigation measures aimed at reducing the landslide hazard often consists of drainage
systems, in particular when the piezometric regime in the slope is identified as an internal …

Subsurface drainage has been widely accepted to mitigate the hazard of landslides in areas
prone to flooding. Specifically, the use of drainage wells with pumping systems has been …

Rainfall-induced shallow slope instability is a significant global hazard, often triggered by
water infiltration that affects soil stability and involves dynamic changes in the hydraulic …

Warming of the Arctic in recent years has led to changes in the active layer and uppermost
permafrost. In particular, thick active layer formation results in more frequent thaw of the ice …

For those slopes where the piezometric regime acts as internal landslide predisposing
factor, drainage may represent a more effective mitigation measure than other structural …

In this work the hydraulic efficiency of a parallel draining trenches system is evaluated by
performing a series of pseudo-3D consolidation analyses using the finite element method. A …

The stabilisation of deep landslides is still a challenge for geotechnical engineers, mainly
due to the high cost of structural control works that generally lead engineers to opt for drain …

This study performed a series of steady state drainage analyses under a constant
groundwater recharge rate and drawdown for the subsurface drainage of horizontal drains …

The occurrence of landslides has been increasing in recent years due to intense and
prolonged rainfall events. Lowering the groundwater in natural and man-made slopes can …
