A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ABSTRACTA novel unconventional pseudostatic analysis is proposed here to characterize the sensitivity of a landslide involved slope to earthquakes characterized by different physical properties.Several sine waves with different amplitudes, frequencies and phases were applied to the landslide mass assuming limit equilibrium conditions. The unconventional approach was used for the Diezma landslide case study. The landslide is located 25 km from the city of Granada

Earthquake-Induced Reactivation of Landslides: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives

“…Since the last decade several authors analyzed such effects by instrumental measurements (Gallipoli et al 2000;Havenith et al 2003a, b;Bozzano et al 2004Bozzano et al , 2008cDel Gaudio and Wasowsky 2007;Méric et al 2007;Delgado et al 2015), laboratory experiments (Wang and Lin 2011 and references therein) as well as by numerical models focused on the interactions between seismic inputs and slopes Lenti and Martino 2012) or on the back-analysis of earthquake-triggered landslide reactivations (Bozzano et al 2011a and references therein).…”

“…The Diezma landslide is located 25 km from the city of Granada (Fig. 1); although the slope had repeatedly suffered small scale stability problems since the construction of the A-92 highway, a larger failure occurred on 18 March 2001 causing several damages (Rodríguez-Peces et al 2011;Delgado et al 2015). The landslide has a main translational mechanism and involves an estimated volume of 1.2 Mm 3 , constituted of a chaotic deposit of silt and clay with heterometric blocks of limestones (Azañón et al 2010).…”

“…The unconventional analyses was experienced in the case study of the Diezma landslide, in Spain (Delgado et al 2015). The Diezma landslide is located 25 km from the city of Granada (Fig.…”

Monte Carlo simulation for uncertainty estimation on structural data in implicit 3-D geological modeling, a guide for disturbance distribution selection and parameterization

“…As such they are used in various domains of application such as mining (Cammack, 2016;Dominy et al, 2002), oil and gas (Nordahl and Ringrose, 2008), infrastructure engineering (Aldiss et al, 2012), water supply management (Prada et al, 2016), geothermal power plants (Moeck, Monte Carlo Simulation for Uncertainty Estimation fications of the natural world (Bardossy and Fodor, 2001) linked to errors about their inputs (data and working hypotheses), processing (model building) and output formatting (discretization, simplification). Reason dictates that these models should incorporate an estimate of their uncertainty as an aid to risk-aware decision-making.…”

“…King and Paterson 2002), natural hazard management (Delgado Marchal et al 2015), hydrogeology (Jairo 2013) and archaeology (Vos et al 2015). By definition, all models contain uncertainty, being simplifications of the natural world (Bardossy and Fodor 2001) linked to errors about their inputs (data and working hypotheses), their processing (model building) and output formatting (discretization, simplification).…”
