Free Download Engineering Geology for Society and Territory – Volume 2: Landslide Processes by Giorgio Lollino, Daniele Giordan, Giovanni B. Crosta, Jordi Corominas, Rafig Azzam, Janusz Wasowski, Nicola Sciarra
English | PDF | 2015 | 2015 Pages | ISBN : 3319090569 | 198.3 MB
This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with Landslide processes, including: field data and monitoring techniques, prediction and forecasting of landslide occurrence, regional landslide inventories and dating studies, modeling of slope instabilities and secondary hazards (e.g. impulse waves and landslide-induced tsunamis, landslide dam failures and breaching), hazard and risk assessment, earthquake and rainfall induced landslides, instabilities of volcanic edifices, remedial works and mitigation measures, development of innovative stabilization techniques and applicability to specific engineering geological conditions, use of geophysical techniques for landslide characterization and investigation of triggering mechanisms.

Focuses is given to innovative techniques, well documented case studies in different environments, critical components of engineering geological and geotechnical investigations, hydrological and hydrogeological investigations, remote sensing and geophysical techniques, modeling of triggering, collapse, runout and landslide reactivation, geotechnical design and construction procedures in landslide zones, interaction of landslides with structures and infrastructures and possibility of domino effects. The Engineering Geology for Society and Territory volumes of the IAEG XII Congress held in Torino from September 15-19, 2014, analyze the dynamic role of engineering geology in our changing world and build on the four main themes of the congress: environment, processes, issues, and approaches. The congress topics and subject areas of the 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes are:
Climate Change and Engineering Geology
Landslide Processes
River Basins, Reservoir Sedimentation and Water Resources
Marine and Coastal Processes
Urban Geology, Sustainable Planning and Landscape Exploitation
Applied Geology for Major Engineering Projects
Education, Professional Ethics and Public Recognition of Engineering Geology
Preservation of Cultural Heritage
