    Project aimed at the development of a prototype alarm- and early warning system to address different kinds of natural hazards, using landslides as an example.

    Extractions: Impressum English Durch die fortschreitende Erschließung und Nutzung von rutschungsgefährdeten Gebieten weltweit, verbunden mit veränderten klimatischen Einflussfaktoren, steigt die Gefahr für Menschen und die öffentlichen Infrastrukturen, wie Straße und Versorgungsnetze durch Massenbewegungen immer weiter an. Überwachungs- und Frühwarnsysteme (Early Warning Systems (EWS)) gewinnen zunehmend an Bedeutung, vor allem wenn keine Ausweichstrategien zur Verfügung stehen. Heutige Systeme stellen jedoch häufig nur „Insellösungen“ dar, die sehr kostenintensiv sind und nur eine punktuelle Überwachung erlauben. Es ist daher notwendig, durch die Verwendung moderner kostengünstiger Technologien Systeme weiter auszubauen bzw. neu zu entwickeln. mehr mehr Im Rahmen des Projektes soll durch die Integration von kostengünstigen Kleinstsensoren (MEMS) aus dem Industriebereich zur Datenaufnahme in selbstorganisierenden ad-hoc, multi-hop drahtlos Sensornetzwerken (WSN) ein modernes Frühwarnsystem für Massenbewegungen entwickelt werden. Das System zeichnet sich vor allem durch seine sehr anpassungsfähige, flexible Struktur, mit einfacher Integration kostengünstiger Sensoren aus, wodurch eine Überwachung großflächiger Areale ermöglicht wird. Die gewonnenen Daten werden über standardisierte Schnittstellen in einer OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) konformen dienstbasierten Geodateninfrastruktur verarbeitet und entsprechend den Anforderungen des jeweiligen Endnutzers visualisiert und bereit gestellt.

    Extractions: Edited: July 18, 2010, 7:23 pm Lead Author: Topics: Geology Rate: Content Source: USGS This article has been reviewed by the following Topic Editors: Galal Hassan Galal Hussein Peter Saundry The term "landslide" describes a wide variety of processes that result in the downward and outward movement of slope-forming materials including rock soil , artificial fill, or a combination of these. The materials may move by falling, toppling, sliding, spreading, or flowing. Figure 1 shows a graphic illustration of a landslide, with the commonly accepted terminology describing its features. The various types of landslides can be differentiated by the kinds of material involved and the mode of movement. A classification system based on these parameters is shown in Figure 2. Other classification systems incorporate additional variables, such as the rate of movement and the water

    Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Conglomerate rock located at Point Reyes, California. Part of a Submarine Landslide (turbidite). Submarine landslides are marine landslides that transport sediment across the continental shelf and into the deep ocean . A submarine landslide is initiated when the downwards driving stress (gravity and other factors) exceeds the resisting stress of the seafloor slope material causing movements along one or more concave to planer rupture surfaces. Submarine landslides take place in a variety of different settings including planes as low as 1° and can cause significant damage to both life and property. Recent advances have been made in understanding the nature and processes of submarine landslides through the use of sidescan sonar and other seafloor mapping technology. Submarine Landslides have different causes which relate to both the geological attributes of the landslide material and transient environmental factors affecting the submarine environment. Common causes of landslides include: i) presence of weak geological layers, ii) overpressure due to rapid accumulation of sedimentary deposits , iii) earthquakes , iv) storm wave loading and hurricanes , v) gas hydrate dissociation, vi)

    Extractions: In general, landslides are complicated systems of geology, geomorphology, and hydro geology. Rarely does a single design tool address all of the problems associated with incidences of mass movement such as landslides. As a result, D J Scheffler, Inc. is very selective when considering their involvement in projects where the mediation of active or ancient landslides is included in the scope of work. Soldier Piles Soldier piles, or shear pins, consist of vertical shafts drilled through the unstable zone, and heavily reinforced with steel and high strength concrete. Shear pins can be used to stabilize shallow zones of instability, or in conjunction with tieback anchors for larger masses of unstable soil. Tieback Anchor Systems A tieback consists of a small diameter drilled shaft that is fitted with a steel-tensioning element that is centered in the hole. The shaft can be horizontal or drilled at an angle depending on the specifics of the job. Once placed, the steel element is surrounded by cement grout. Tieback anchor systems are rows of tiebacks. Horizontal spacing between the tiebacks is job specific. A tieback consists of a small diameter drilled shaft that is fitted with a steel-tensioning element that is centered in the hole.

    Extractions: House destroyed by landslide, Santa Cruz Mountains (photo by Jeff Marshall): These landslides have become a major public policy issue in the county. The debate centers around whether to allow homeowners to rebuild on threatened property or not. Recently, the county board of supervisors approved rebuilding, if proper geologic investigation shows that there is no immediate threat of injury or death. The homeowners must then sign a waiver releasing the county from any liability, and any geologic hazard must be clearly indicated in the deed for the property. The average house in the Santa Cruz Mountains has a value of at least $200,000, which naturally introduces a number of interesting legal, economic, and emotional complications to this situation. Roadcut failure on Old Soquel-San Jose Highway, Santa Cruz Mountains (photo by Jeff Marshall): This rockfall covers the southbound lane of Old Soquel-San Jose Highway. Santa Cruz is connected to the south San Francisco Bay region by three main arteries (all narrow mountain roads): Highway 17, Highway 9, and the Old Soquel-San Jose Highway. During the earthquake there were landslides on all three, severely limiting access to Santa Cruz. The only unaffected route to the South Bay was Mt. Charlie Rd., the 19th century stagecoach road. Laurel curve landslide, State Highway 17, Santa Cruz Mountains (photo by Jeff Marshall): This landslide, initiated by the earthquake, covered both of the northbound lanes of Hwy 17, the major commuter route between Santa Cruz and San Jose. This landslide was the most extensive of numerous slope failures that caused a month long closure of Highway 17. The concrete wall in this photo is the highway center divider.

    Extractions: Skip to Content Online Services Commonwealth Sites Help ... Governor Search Virginia.gov: Home Geologic Hazards Contact Us Search this Site: A landslide is the movement of any mass of rock, soil, or debris down a slope. This process, known as mass movement, is driven by gravity and may occur instantaneously or quite imperceptibly. Landslides are usually triggered by heavy rainfall, rapid snow melt, stream incision, or earthquakes, while certain man-made changes to the land, such as slope modification or drainage alteration, can greatly increase the likelihood of landslides. Landslides are capable of wrecking buildings, rupturing gas, water, and sewer mains, and knocking out power and telephone lines while blocking transportation routes. Soil creep and slumping cause property damage gradually, whereas rock slides and debris flows can sweep away people and property instantaneously. In the United States, landslides annually cause up to $2 billion in damages and take between twenty-five and fifty lives. Landslides occur in many manifestations and are usually classified according to the type of material involved and the mode of downslope movement. The material can range from loose earth to blocks of solid rock to tree trunks. Modes of transport include freefall, bouncing, sliding down a slip surface, flowing in a slurry, or moving particle-by-particle. The following are some of the more important types of mass movement:

Slides can occur offshore, onshore, or coastal environments. Gravity is prime cause for landslides; but adverse sub-surface conditions can lead to unstable slopes and landslide. Unstable condition of slopes is likely caused by groundwater pressure, sparse vegetative cover, soil structure, base erosion by river, seawater. Similarly heavy rains, snowmelt, glacier melting, may weaken slopes and trigger slides. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes aftereffects can result in slides. Human activities contribute to landslides.
