Quantitative Analysis of Landslide Phenomena in Respect to Terrestrial Features

Abstract

Little attention has been paid to the type of rock slides and rock falls in landglides. But recently, as many tructures have be built in the mountain area, actual demands, to investigate the characteristics of landslide phenomena have been brought forth.
Since occurrence and termination of landslides, seem to follow stochastic process, according to the auther, characteristics of landslides can be expressed by increment number U, decrement ratio K and length of life Z, which depend on the terrestrial conditios.
The variation of these constants obtained from three different geological features at certain reservoirs is described, where the Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, volcanic rock and granite are underlain.
