A Comprehensive Areal Model of Earthquake-induced Landslides using Fuzzy Logic Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new comprehensive areal model of earthquake-induced landslides (CAMEL), developed using fuzzy logic systems, is introduced here. CAMEL provides an integrated framework for modelling all types of earthquake-induced landslides using geographic information systems. CAMEL is designed to facilitate quantitative and qualitative representation of terrain conditions and knowledge about these conditions on the likely areal concentration of each landslide type. CAMEL is highly modifiable and adaptable; new knowledge can be easily added, while existing knowledge can be changed to better match local knowledge and conditions. CAMEL provides an open framework for incorporating other models with previously incompatible empirical and local knowledge. A brief overview of the model and example of its application is given here. Keyword: earthquake, landslide, GIS, fuzzy logic, hazard zonation

Landslides susceptibility mapping using fuzzy logic and AHP
Landslide, due to its dangerous nature in mountainous areas, usually causes morphology to suddenly collapse and causes major damage to residential areas, roads, agricultural lands, and so on. In this study, using the AHP model and fuzzy logic operators, we evaluated and zoned the landslide sensitivity in the Pseudogene basin in Razavi Khorasan province. The eight main criteria of elevation, slo...
متن کاملAssessment of Lateral Displacements using Neuro-Fuzzy Group Method of Data Handling Systems
Lateral spreading is one of the most destructive effects of liquefaction. Liquefaction is known as one of the major causes of ground failure related to earthquake. This phenomenon is likely to occur when the rate of earthquake-induced excess pore water pressure buildup exceeds the rate of drainage. Estimation of the hazard of lateral spreading requires characterization of subsurface conditions....

BACKGROUND: Rural areas, usually when compared to other natural events, have the greatest vulnerability of human settlements. The aim of this study was to evaluate natural hazards as earthquakes, landslides, floods and identify high-risk zone in relation to the rural areas of the central township of Azna County, Iran. METHODS: Topographic and geology maps, elevation digital model, and seismic ...
متن کاملDetermining the extent of building destruction after an earthquake using satellite imagery and fuzzy logic (Case study of Sarpol-e-Zahab region)
Background and objective: Earthquake is one of the most destructive natural disasters. Earthquakes occur in urban areas, destroying buildings and injuring people living in them. Urban center buildings are among the features that are exposed to many hazards during an earthquake. One of the first measures taken after an earthquake is relief. Locating damaged buildings can speed up relief efforts....
