Numerical simulation of gravel unconstrained flow experiments: A comparison between DAN-3D and RASH-3D codes

Four gravel unconstrained flow experiments were modelled with the DAN-3D and RASH-3D codes. Both the codes, based on continuum mechanics, were developed for the propagation of rapid landslides, like rock avalanches. The codes were at first run to back-calc ...

Comparison of two rock fall hazard mapping methodologies based on the French and Swiss guidelines

Vincent Labiouse, Jacopo Maria Abbruzzese

Landslide hazard mapping aims at providing very useful information for urban planning and for risk analysis. Though landslide risks represent a common threat to human lives and properties worldwide, the procedures applied for hazard and risk assessment are ...

After 10’000 years of movements, is the La Frasse landslide stabilized? Numerical modeling of the crises of a large landslide and of its mitigation measures

Lyesse Laloui, Hervé Péron, Jacques Planchat

Using advanced hydro-geological and geo-mechanical finite element simulations, it has been possible to model the behavior of a large slope movement, namely the La Frasse landslide in Switzerland. The slide experiences a permanent movement of about 10 to 15 ...

Hydro-mechanical modelling of a natural slope affected by a multiple slip surface failure mechanism

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari

A coupled hydro-mechanical formulation is presented for the analysis of landslide motion during crisis episodes. The mathematical formulation is used to model a natural slope affected by a multiple slip surface failure mechanism, in which pore water pressu ...

Considerations on Swiss methodologies for rock fall hazard mapping based on trajectory modelling

Vincent Labiouse, Jacopo Maria Abbruzzese, Claire Sauthier

Rock fall hazard assessment and hazard mapping are essential for the risk management of vulnerable areas. This paper analyses some issues concerning fragmental rock fall hazard mapping methodologies. Two Swiss approaches based on rock fall trajectory simul ...

Using predisposition factors for landslide hazard assessment: a new GIS-based methodology

Aurèle Parriaux, Séverine Bilgot

Switzerland is exceptionally subjected to landslides; indeed, about 10% of its area is considered as unstable. Making this observation, its Department of the Environment (BAFU) introduced in 1997 a method to realize landslide hazard map. It is routinely us ...

Geomechanical modelling of a natural slope affected by a multiple slip surface failure mechanism

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari

This paper presents a geomechanical model that was developed to investigate the behaviour of a natural slope located on the bank of the Rhine between the towns of Stein and Mumpf in Switzerland. The slope, affected by a large landslide, constitutes a relev ...

Constitutive modelling of unsaturated soils with hydro-geomechanical couplings

Mathieu Nuth

Even though the saturation in water of most natural and engineered soils is partial, constitutive models in geotechnical engineering have long made the assumption of complete saturation. The increasing knowledge of the rheological behaviour of unsaturated ...

Real-Time avalanche and landslide analysis through sensor networks.

Christophe Ancey

The study of gravity-driven flows (avalanches, landslides, etc.) has made significant progress in the last decade, mainly in the field of numerical models. However, these models rely on a speculative basis and, for lack of field data, modeling the internal ...
