Progress in Landslide Science -- Landslide Science as a New Scientific Discipline -- An Overview of Landslide Problems in the British Isles, with Reference to Geology, Geography and Conservation -- Considerations about the Mechanics of Slow Active Landslides in Clay -- Dynamics of Rapid Landslides -- Progress in Debris Flow Modeling -- Landslide Dynamics -- Undrained Stress-controlled Dynamic-loading Ring-shear Test to Simulate Initiation and Post-failure Motion of Landslides -- Shear Behavior and Shear Zone Structure of Granular Materials in Naturally Drained Ring Shear Tests -- Rockslides and Their Motion -- Residual Shear Strength of Tertiary Mudstone and Influencing Factors -- On Failure of Municipal Waste Landfill -- Experimental Study with Ring Shear Apparatus on the May 2004 Landslide-Debris Flow at Bettou-dani Valley, Haku-san Mountain, Japan -- On the Pore-pressure Generation and Movement of Rainfall-induced Landslides in Laboratory Flume Tests -- Ring Shear Tests on Clays of Fracture Zone Landslides and Clay Mineralogical Aspects -- Landslides Induced by a Combined Effect of Earthquake and Rainfall -- Landslide Experiments on Artificial and Natural Slopes -- Landslide Monitoring -- Enlargement of a Failed Area along a Sliding Surface -- Airborne LIDAR Data Measurement and Landform Classification Mapping in Tomari-no-tai Landslide Area, Shirakami Mountains, Japan -- Integration of Remote Sensing Techniques in Different Stages of Landslide Response -- Rock Deformation Monitoring at Cultural Heritage Sites in Slovakias -- Landslide Risk Assessment -- Extracting Necessary Pparameters from Real Landslide Mass for Mitigating Landslide Disaster -- Landslide Dams Formed by the 2004 Mid-Niigata Prefecture Earthquake in Japan -- Shear Behavior of Clay in Slope for Pore Water Pressure Increase -- Static and Dynamic Analyses of Slopes by the FEM -- Debris Flows in the Vicinity of the Machu Picchu Village, Peru -- Engineering Geology and Cultural Heritage: the Conservation of Remaining Bamiyan Buddhas (Central Afghanistan) -- Debris Flow Hazard Defense Magnitude Assessment with Numerical Simulation. This book presents current progress in landslide science and consists of four parts: (1) Progress in Landslide Science, (2) Landslide Dynamics, (3) Landslide Monitoring, and (4) Landslide Risk Assessment. It provides useful information to academics, practitioners, and government officers working on landslide risk-mitigation planning. This book can be also used as an introductory textbook for college students who wish to learn fundamental scientific achievements in the field of landslide disaster reduction. |
