Abstract

Report on a recent deep-seated landslide at Gírová Mt., Czech Republic, triggered by a heavy rainfall: The Gírová Mt., Outer West Carpathians; Czech Republic Abstract A large deep-seated landslide, triggered by a heavy rainfall, activated early in the morning on May 19, 2010 along the SW slope of Gírová Mt., NE Czech Republic. The landslide occurred within a zone of pre-existing deep-seated gravitational deformation, and it was accompanied with pronounced ground liquefying in the central and lower portion of the sliding mass. The precipitation that triggered the landslide was about 244.6mm that fell between May 15th and 18th with an average of 61mm/day. No properties or lives were lost. However, the landslide provided a good case study on triggering factors and process of liquefaction at mountain slopes in the E Czech Republic and adjacent areas.

Holocene reactivations of catastrophic complex flow-like landslides in the Flysch Carpathians (Czech Republic/Slovakia)

“…Recent field investigations in the Flysch Belt of the Outer Western Carpathians led to the discovery of several large rotational-translational slope failures that transformed into shallow earthflows at their frontal parts due to liquefaction of the substrate. These shallow landslides and earthflows are usually much faster and more destructive than their deep-seated precursors (Baroň et al, 2004(Baroň et al, , 2011Klimeš et al, 2009). Here, we propose a new term for this type of slope failurecomplex flow-like landslides (CFLLs).…”

Application Assessments of Using Scarp Boundary-Fitted, Volume Constrained, Smooth Minimal Surfaces as Failure Interfaces of Deep-Seated Landslides

“…For example, the Hsiaolin landslide, after sweeping through the village in its course, formed a short-lived blockage dam, and the continuous inflow triggered follow-up dambreak debris flows (Dong et al, 2011;Li et al, 2011;Tsou et al, 2011). Similar rainfall triggered large scale deep-seated landslide examples and related research include those reported by Cardinali et al (2002), Roering et al (2005), Baroň et al (2011), Chigira (2011), Xu et al (2015), Vallet et al (2015), and Lee et al (2018).…”

“…Baroň et al, 2011Baroň et al, : in 2010, in the Czech Carpathians colluvia were transported 253 m downslope during only a few hours - Fig. 1a) compared with slow-moving landslides, where the rate of movement may be less than a centimetre per year (Noferini et al, 2007;Massey et al, 2013).…”
