Fluidized Landslide Occurred in Yamashina, Kanazawa

Mathematical modelling of the landslide occurred at Gagliano Castelferrato (Italy)

Shallow slopes in clayey colluvial covers are often involved in progressive downhill motion with discontinuous rate of movements, depending on fluctuations in pore-water pressure. In geotechnical engineering research on natural slopes, the main efforts have been concentrated on stability analysis, always with a rigid perfectly plastic body assumption. In case of slow slope movements, however, t...

From Kanazawa to eCAM

The idea of an international symposium was first proposed to me on a cold day in March of 2002. Professor Nobuo Yamaguchi had invited Dr Toyoshi Onji of Oxford University Press (OUP) to our part of western Japan for an oyster feast. Auspiciously, we were wearing bibs to facilitate the consumption of this delicacy from the Noto peninsula. This is Professor Yamaguchi’s modus operandi: the best re...

Predicting the susceptibility of landslide occurrence in order to manage landslide risk in Bar Neyshabur watershed

Background and objective: Landslide susceptibility zoning using different methods is one of the landslide management strategies. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the landslides susceptibility in the Bar watershed in Khorasan Razavi province using the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. Method: First, the landslide layer of the area was corrected through field visits and Google Earth...
