Landslides can result in enormous casualties and huge economic losses in mountainous regions. In order to mitigate landslide hazard effectively, new methodologies are required to develop a better understanding of landslide hazard and to make rational decisions on the allocation of funds for management of landslide risk. Recent advances in risk analysis and risk assessment are beginning to provide systematic and rigorous processes to enhance slope management. In recent years, risk analysis and assessment has become an important tool in addressing uncertainty inherent in landslide hazards.This article reviews recent advances in landslide risk assessment and management, and discusses the applicability of a variety of approaches to assessing landslide risk. Firstly, a framework for landslide risk assessment and management by which landslide risk can be reduced is proposed. This is followed by a critical review of the current state of research on assessing the probability of landsliding, runout behavior, and vulnerability. Effective management strategies for reducing economic and social losses due to landslides are described. Problems in landslide risk assessment and management are also examined. 相似文献
The methods used for a building seismic hazard evaluation are presented with the associated results. The goals of the study are (1) to check the soil nature and the existence or not of a possible site effect around the installation and (2) to characterize the dynamic behavior of the building using ambient vibration records.
The results of the soil study with the Nakamura method are very difficult to interpret because they are not stable in space and time. The spectral ratios method has been used with regional earthquake records. The results of the application of this method allowed us to conclude that the installation was free of site effect.
The ambient vibration measurements on the building brought the conclusion to determine the first and second modes of the structure. These results have been used to calibrate numerical model. The modal shapes in plan (high roof) and in elevation (main column) have been evaluated. The damping of the building has been computed using ambient vibration records. 相似文献
Mt. Qomolangma lies in the collision zone between the fringe of Eurasia plate and Indian plate. The crustal movement there
is still very active so far. In the past three decades China carried out five geodetic campaigns in Mt. Qomolangma and its
north vicinal area, independently or cooperatively with other countries, including triangulation, leveling, GPS positioning,
atmospheric, astronomical and gravity measurements. On the basis of the observation results achieved in the campaigns the
crustal movements in the area were studied and explored. A non-stationary phenomenon both in time and space of the crustal
vertical movement in the area is found. There seems to be some relevance between the phenomenon of non-stationary in time
and seismic episode in China. The phenomenon of non-stationary in space is possibly relevant to the no-homo- geneity of crustal
medium and non-uniform absorption of terrestrial stress. The horizontal crustal movement in the area is in the direction of
NEE at a speed of 6–7 cm per year, and the trend of strike slip movement is manifested evidently in the collision fringe of
Indian plate and Qinghai-Xizang block. 相似文献
