Page 3: ppt on Landslides

INTRODUCTION• Landslide is defined as the

movement of a mass of rock, debris or earth down the slope, when the shear stress exceeds the shear strength of the material.

Page 4: ppt on Landslides

Classification of Earth Movements• All movement of land masses are referred as landslides,

but differ in many respects, therefore all types of landslides are categorized as Earth Movements. These are classified as -

EARTH MOVEMENTS

Earth Flow Landslides Subsidence

Solifluction

Creep

Rapid flows

Debris slide orslump

Rock falls

Rock slides

Plastic flow

Collapse

Page 6: ppt on Landslides

Earthflows• Earthflows are down slope, viscous flows of

saturated, fine-grained materials, which move at any speed from slow to fast.

Earthflows

Page 7: ppt on Landslides

MudflowSometimes referred to as a mudslide, a mudflow is when the soil becomes so saturated with water that it speeds down the hill in a muddy river carrying debris. It is the fastest and wettest type of flow.

Lahar "Lahar" is the Indonesian word for a "volcanic debris flow." It is a volcanic, rapidly flowing mudflow that contains rock debris and water.

Page 8: ppt on Landslides

Solifuction : Solifuction is a downward movement of wet soil along the slopes under the influence of gravity.

Solifuction

Page 9: ppt on Landslides

CREEP

Creep : It is a slow movement of soil in the range of a few cm a year. This phenomenon occurs either seasonally or continuously. As shown in the picture, it can be identified by tilted fence, or trees with curved trunks. Creep can buckle walls, but not life threatening. The process can be slowed down by planting trees.

Page 10: ppt on Landslides

Rapid flows : Rapid flow is similar to the creep, but differ in terms of speed and depth. It is faster. Creep is involved upto shallow depth (app. 1-2 m), whereas the rapid flow is involved to greater depth (app. upto 5 m or more)

Page 11: ppt on Landslides

Landslides

• If a mass of earth moves along a definite plane or surface, the failure is termed as Landslide.

Page 12: ppt on Landslides

SLUMP

Slump or debris slide: Soil mass moving at a speed of few tens of meters to a few hundred meters per hour is known as slump. It is identified by rotational arc scars. Generally, it is not hazardous to life, but is threat to natural property.

Page 13: ppt on Landslides

• Rockslide• Rockfall

Page 14: ppt on Landslides

Subsidence

• It represents the downward movement of the surface. It may occur due to plastic outflow of the underlying strata or due to the compaction of the underlying material.

Page 15: ppt on Landslides

Plastic outflow: It may occur when a plastic layer like clay bed is squeezed outward due to overlying heavy load.

Collapse: It occur due to extensive pull out of large volume of underground water or due to subsurface solution activity in limestone terrain.

Page 16: ppt on Landslides

Landslide classificationThe following factors can be used and have been used

to classify landslides:Material: Rock, Soil Lithology , structure, Geotechnical properties

Geomorphic attributes: Weathering, Slope form

Landslide geometry: Depth, Length, Height etc.

Type of movement: Fall, Slide, Flow etc

Climate: Tropical, Peri-glacial etc.Water: Dry, wet, saturatedSpeed of movement: Very slow, slow etc.

Triggering mechanism: Earthquake, rainfall etc.

Page 17: ppt on Landslides

TYPES OF LANDSLIDES

• Falls• Topples• Slides• Flows

Landslide

Page 18: ppt on Landslides

• Falls: a mass detaches from a steep slope or cliff and descends by free-fall, bounding, or rolling.

• Topples: a mass tilts or rotates forward as a unit.

Page 19: ppt on Landslides

• Slides: a mass displaces on one or more recognizable surfaces, which may be curved or planar.

• Flows: a mass moves down slope with a fluid motion. A significant amount of water may or may not be part of the mass.

CAUSES OF LANDSLIDESThe occurrence of landslides is the consequence of a complexfield of forces which is active ona mass of rock or soil on the slope. Basically, the two main determinative parameters are:• An increase of shear stress• A decrease of material strength

Page 22: ppt on Landslides

Checklist of causes

• GEOLOGICAL CAUSES• MORPHOLOGICAL CAUSES• PHYSICAL CAUSES• HUMAN CAUSES

Landslides occur when the stability of the slope changes from a stable to an unstable condition. A change in the stability of a slope can be caused by a number of factors, acting together or alone. The causes of landslides are ---

Page 23: ppt on Landslides

Geological causes• Weathered Materials e.g. heavy rainfall• Sheared materials• Jointed or fissured materials• Adversely orientated discontinuities• Permeability contrasts• Material contrasts• Rainfall and snow fall• Earthquakes• Working of machinery

Page 24: ppt on Landslides

Morphological causes• Slope angle• Uplift• Rebound• Fluvial erosion• Wave erosion• Glacial erosion• Subterranean erosion• Slope loading• Vegetation change• Erosion

Page 25: ppt on Landslides

Physical causes• Intense rainfall• Rapid snow melt• Prolonged precipitation• Rapid drawdown• Earthquake• Volcanic eruption• Thawing• Freeze-thaw• Ground water changes• Soil pore water pressure• Surface runoff• Seismic activity• Soil erosion

Page 26: ppt on Landslides

Human causes• Excavation• Loading• Draw-down• Land use (e.g. construction of roads, houses etc.)• Water management• Mining• Quarrying• Vibration• Water leakage• Deforestation• Land use pattern• Pollution

Page 27: ppt on Landslides

WATER-LEVEL CHANGE

Groundwater conditions when the river level is stable

Groundwater conditions on the falling limb of the hydrograph. If the fall in river levels is sufficiently rapid then the high water levels in the slope can provide a hydraulic push that destabilizes the slope, sometimes triggering bank collapse.

Page 28: ppt on Landslides

SNOWMELT

• In many cold mountain areas, snowmelt can be a key mechanism by which landslide initiation can occur. This can be especially significant when sudden increases in temperature lead to rapid melting of the snow pack. This water can then infiltrate into the ground, which may have impermeable layers below the surface due to still-frozen soil or rock, leading to rapid increases in pore water pressure, and resultant landslide activity. This effect can be especially serious when the warmer weather is accompanied by precipitation, which both adds to the groundwater and accelerates the rate of thawing.

Page 29: ppt on Landslides

Rivers

• In some cases, failures are triggered as a result of undercutting of the slope by a river, especially during a flood. This undercutting serves both to increase the gradient of the slope, reducing stability, and to remove toe weighting, which also decreases stability.

Page 30: ppt on Landslides

SEISMICITY• One of the major factor in the triggering of landslides is

seismicity. Landslides occur during earthquakes as a result of two separate but interconnected processes: seismic shaking and pore water pressure generation.

Seismic shaking : The passage of the earthquake waves through the rock and soil produces a complex set of accelerations that effectively act to change the gravitational load on the slope. So, for example, vertical accelerations successively increase and decrease the normal load acting on the slope. Similarly, horizontal accelerations induce a shearing force due to the inertia of the landslide mass during the accelerations. These processes are complex, but can be sufficient to induce failure of the slope.

Page 31: ppt on Landslides

Liquefaction : The passage of the earthquake waves through a granular material such as a soil can induce a process termed liquefaction, in which the shaking causes a reduction in the pore space of the material. This densification drives up the pore pressure in the material. In some cases this can change a granular material into what is effectively a liquid, generating 'flow slides' that can be rapid and thus very damaging. Alternatively, the increase in pore pressure can reduce the normal stress in the slope, allowing the activation of translational and rotational failures.

Recommended Remedial Measures/Methods as per

“Indian StandardLandslide Control—guidelines”

• Landslide preventive techniques are divided in two groups:

a. Direct methods, andb. Indirect methods.

Page 33: ppt on Landslides

• Direct methods are further subdivided into:

I. restraining structure;II. easing of pressure by excavation;III. reconstruction of slope using reinforced earth; andIV. rock reinforcement.

• Indirect methods involve erosion control measures, improvement in surface and sub-surface drainage.

Page 34: ppt on Landslides

• Restraining Structures : These are generally used to control slope stability problems (height ≤ 4 m).

Example -

Dry, banded and mortar masonry walls Gabions/sausage walls Concrete retaining walls Restraining piles Restraining structures using empty bitumen drum

Page 35: ppt on Landslides

• Excavation Methods : These contribute to increased stability of the soil mass beneath a slope. The main methods used for landslide control are removal of unstable materials, flattening of slopes, benching of slopes, change of line or grade and alteration of slope geometry. Example –

Removal of unstable materials Flattening of slopes Benching of slopes Change of line or grade Alteration of slope geometry

Excavation Techniques

Page 36: ppt on Landslides

• Reconstruction of Slope Using Reinforced Earth: Reinforced earth using metallic stripes Geofabric reinforcement structure on slopes Slope reinforcement by soil nailing Micro-piles, root piles for slope stabilization

• Rock Reinforcement : Rockslides and rockfalls can be stabilized by rock reinforcement.

Page 37: ppt on Landslides

• Erosion Control Measures : Plantation of grasses and shrubs to restore the vegetative cover on denuded slope help in arresting the surface erosion. Some of the techniques of establishing a vegetative cover on hill slopes are:

Asphalt mulch treatment Slope treatment by jute/coir netting Bally benching• Surface Drainage : Control of surface water consists of

two main parts:• The collection of run-off at the uphill boundary of any

unstable area,• Maximizing run-off from the unstable area and

controlling and collecting the run-off.

Page 38: ppt on Landslides

Catch water or interceptor drains Road side drains Cross drains• Sub-Surface Drainage : Sub-surface drainage

is usually more effective for deep seated landslides because it leads to a decrease in pore water pressure directly at the failure plane and tends to produce a more stable condition of slide area.

Horizontal drains Deep trench drains

Typical anti-erosion solutions with geomats Anti-erosion solutions with the use of bionets

Anti-eroding geomats or bionets are purpose-made synthetic products for the protection and grassing of slopes subject to surface wash through two main erosion control mechanisms: the containment and reinforcement of the surficial ground; the protection from the impact of the raindrops.

Micro-perforated flexible drainage tubes

The surficial water regulation systems are obtained by means of suitably placed flexible drainage pipes (e.g. Micro-perforated flexible drainage tubes) able to collect water. This provision will serve the purpose of avoiding penetration of water into any cracks or fissures, further decreasing ground shear strength.

Page 45: ppt on Landslides

Mitigation Approachesa. Avoidance of steep slopes and caution during developmental activitiesb. Insurance for risky constructions in risky areasc. Land-use zoning and restrictions imposed in

unsafe zonesd. Stabilization of slopese. Structural design incorporating additional

safety regulations in sloping land

Page 46: ppt on Landslides

Areas those are generally prone to landslides

• On existing landslides, old or recent• On or at the base or top of slopes• In or at the base of minor drainage hollows• At the base or top of an old fill slope• At the base or top of a steep cut slope

Areas those are generally safe from landslides

• On hard, non-jointed bedrock that has not moved in the past• On relatively flat-lying areas away from slopes and steep river banks• At the top or along the nose of ridges, set back from the tops of slopes

Page 47: ppt on Landslides

Landslide warning signs

• Sticking or jamming of doors or windows• Appearance of cracks in plaster, tile, brick, or foundations• Pulling away from the building of outside walls or stairs.• Slow development of widening cracks on the ground or on paved

areas such as streets.• Breakage of underground utility lines• Appearance of bulging ground at the base of a slope• Emergence of flowing ground water in new sites• Sudden decrease in creek water levels though rain is still falling or

just recently stopped• Tilting or moving of fences, retaining walls, utility poles, or trees.• Faint rumbling sound that increases in volume as the landslide

nears. The ground slopes downward in one specific direction and may begin shifting in that direction under his/her feet.

Page 48: ppt on Landslides

What to do if you suspect immediate landslide danger

• Leave the area quickly• Inform affected neighbors• Contact your local fire, police or public works

department• Contact a consulting geologist
