“…This is tantamount to characterize overall relationships between rainfall and landslides. On this topic a large number of models have been proposed by several authors since the 1980s (De Vita et al, 1998;Guzzetti et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2011). These models generally follow two main approaches.…”

Abstract. The definition of hydrological alert systems for rainfall-induced landslides is strongly related to a deep knowledge of the geological and geomorphological features of the territory. Climatic conditions, spatial and temporal evolution of the phenomena and characterization of landslide triggering, together with propagation mechanisms, are the key elements to be considered. Critical steps for the development of the systems consist of the identification of the hydrological variable related to landslide triggering and of the minimum rainfall threshold for landslide occurrence.

Slope failure is a common issue in tropical countries. The rise of groundwater table due to rainfall is one of the main triggering factors. There are several methods for slope stabilization such as soil nailing, retaining walls, cut and fill, vegetation and so on. Most of those methods are costly and we are in need for stabilizing methods that are more economical and easier to construct. This article introduces a new method for slope stability. This method is examined numerically and experimentally. It is represented in an automatic zero-energy groundwater withdrawal system to enhance slope stability. The system is validated in a pre-fabricated model to ensure that it works on natural soil slope. The numerical simulation is performed in Soilworks software with coupled seepage-slope stability analysis using finite element methods to check the safety factor with and without the system. The effectiveness of this method is investigated with various rainfall intensities and soil permeabilities. The results for slopes with the application of groundwater withdrawal system are compared with the results without the system. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in reducing groundwater table and enhancing slope stability. The factor of safety for the slope with high soil permeability drops from 1.312 before the rainfall to 1.292 and 0.93 after the third rainfall event for the slope with and without pumping groundwater respectively. For soil slope with moderate soil permeability, the factor of safety deteriorates from 1.314 to 1.157 at the end of the third day, while it remains stable with pumping groundwater. Matric suction is highly increased at the crest of the slope due to pumping.

“…Among the most studied of these are rainfall (e.g. Guidicini and Iwasa, 1977;Caine, 1980;Wilson and Wieczorek, 1995;De Vita and Reichenbach, 1998;Giannecchini, 2006;Guzzetti et al, 2007;Cucchi et al, 2015;Segoni et al, 2015) and vegetation cover (e.g. Istanbulluoglu and Bras, 2005;Marston, 2010;Kai et al, 2014).…”

Abstract.A coupled empirical approach to highlight relationships between rainfall, vegetation segmentation, and landslide occurrence is discussed. To reveal such links, two important rainfall events, which occurred over the Esino river basin in central Italy in November 2013 and May 2014, were analysed. The correlation between rainfall and landslides was evaluated by applying an intensity-duration (ID) threshold method, whereas the correlation between vegetation segmentation and landslides was investigated using morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA). This coupled approach represents an attempt to find both timing and location of landslide occurrence through an empirical (black box) analysis. Results showed: (i) the ID minimum threshold proposed in a previous study to be verified as an effective equation to assess the rainfall conditions likely to trigger landslides in the study area ("when"), and (ii) the core areas and the fragmented vegetation structures defined by the MSPA to be the most affected by slope failures ("where"). These encouraging findings prompt additional testing and the application of such a coupled empirical approach so that it is possible to achieve an integrated basis for landslide forecasting.
