After a large landslide event in Sibratsgfäll/Austria several exploration methods were evaluated on their applicability to investigate and monitor landslide areas. The resulting optimised strategy consists of the combined application of airborne electromagnetics, ground geoelectrical measurements and geoelectrical monitoring combined with hydrological and geological mapping and geotechnical mod...

A desktop Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for Geotechnical Information Management system has recently been developed to assist geo-technical managers, planners through flexible application with all common desktop GIS functionalities and customized tools like Borehole Viewer and Stripchart to relate alignments and cross-sections to a specific location and/or region on the map, and create th...

This paper presents a study on the permanent lateral deformation and potential flow of ground due to soil liquefaction in the San Jose area of Northern California. Assessment of ground deformation by lateral flow is made through the use of a set of geotechnical Information Technologies, including GIS, LiDAR, and FEM analysis. By using a geotechnical database consisting of approximately 600 bore...

This paper presents a model for quantitative risk analysis with the application of geographic information systems (GISs) using Bayesian theory. It was used for the thematic integration of maps in a natural state (vegetation, geological-geotechnical, natural drainage and gradient). A landslide susceptibility map was produced based on this integration associated with vulnerability data (time and ...

the identification of natural hazard prone areas for future planning requires an efficient decision support tool to provide the appropriate weights for the various topographical, geological, and seismological factors responsible for the expected hazards. in the present study, an analytical hierarchy process (ahp) with six earthquake hazard parameters (ehps) was used as a decision support system...
