Earthquake-induced slope failure often results in a large loss of life and property, and thus,
understanding how a slope responds to seismic shaking can reveal the mechanism and …

Abstract The Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake of May 12th, 2008 shattered and induced
failures on hillslopes surrounding the centre of the town of Qiaozhuang, located 250 Km NE …

The rock avalanche that destroyed the village of Xinmo in Sichuan, China, on 24 June 2017,
brought the issue of landslide risk and disaster chain management in highly seismic regions …

The many human casualties and the costly havoc caused every year by slope failures
stimulate near-surface engineers to find solutions to mitigate this devastation. Among the …

Seismic site effects (local topographic/lithologic amplification, directivity phenomena) can
have substantial impact on slope dynamic response and susceptibility to earthquake …

The analysis of earthquake recordings from three-component instruments can be
challenging due to overlapping events. Time–frequency (TF) polarization methods are …

The cliff slope of the Selmun Promontory, located in the Northern part of the island of Malta
(Central Mediterranean Sea) close to the coastline, is involved in a landslide process as …

Large earthquake-triggered landslides, in particular rock avalanches, can have catastrophic
consequences. However, without accelerometer records, the recognition of slopes prone to …

Subsurface geometry, particularly the depth of bedrock, is crucial in seismic hazard studies
because the basin geometry has been shown to play an important role in the altering of …

Ground motion amplification induced by topography plays a vital role in engineering
seismology. A topographic array of 8 accelerographs has been operating along the ridge in …
