Geophysical Hazards
The chapter deals with the development of four natural hazards: volcanism, earthquakes, the most associated tsunami and slope mass movements and...
-
Numerical modeling of interactions of rainfall and earthquakes on slope stability analysis
Separated analyses are available for evaluating slope stability after seismic shaking and rainfall. However, the combined effect of seismic shaking...
