Earthquake-induced sliding displacements are commonly used to assess the seismic performance of slopes. These displacements represent the cumulative, downslope movement of a sliding block due to earthquake shaking. While the sliding block model is a simplified representation of the field conditions, the displacements predicted from this model have been shown to be a useful index of seismic performance of slopes. Current evaluation procedures that use sliding block displacements to evaluate the potential for slope instability typically are based on a deterministic approach or a pseudo-probabilistic approach, in which the variabilities in the expected ground motion and predicted displacement are either ignored or not treated rigorously. Thus, there is no concept of the actual hazard (i.e., the annual probability of exceedance) associated with the computed displacement. This dissertation focuses on quantifying the risk for earthquake-induced landslides. The basic approach involves a probabilistic framework for computing the annual rate of exceedance of different levels of sliding displacement for a slope such that a hazard curve for sliding displacement can be developed. The framework incorporates the uncertainties in the prediction of earthquake ground shaking, in the prediction of sliding displacement, and in the assessment of soil properties. The framework considers two procedures that will yield a displacement hazard curve: the scalar hazard approach that utilizes a single ground motion parameter and its associated hazard curve to compute permanent sliding displacements; and a vector hazard approach that predicts displacements based on two (or more) ground motion parameters and the correlation between these parameters. Current predictive models for sliding displacement provide the expected level of displacement as a function of the characteristics of the slope (e.g., geometry, strength, yield acceleration) and the characteristics of earthquake shaking (e.g., peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity). However, current models contain significant aleatory variability such that the range of predicted displacements is large. To reduce the variability in the sliding displacement prediction and to provide models appropriate for the presented probabilistic framework, sliding displacement predictive equations are developed that utilize single and multiple ground motion parameters. The developed framework is implemented to the Mint Canyon 7.5-minute quadrangle in California to generate a map of earthquake-induced landslide hazard. Application of the probabilistic procedure to a 7-1/2 minute quadrangle of California is an important exercise to identify potential difficulties in California Geological Survey's (CGS) current application for hazard mapping, and for the eventual adoption by CGS and USGS.

Seismicity is a major trigger for landslides with often devastating effects. The Japan Landslide Society (JLS) therefore organized a meeting fully dedicated to the research area of earthquake induced landslides. The symposium covers all aspects of earthquake-induced landslides including the phenomena occurred in manmade embankments as well as in natural slopes in mountainous areas. In this comprehensive volume on landslide science the JLS presents the Proceedings of this First International Symposium on Earthquake-Induced Landslides, held in November 2012 in Kiryu, Japan.

Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice contains the invited lectures and all papers presented at the 12th International Symposium on Landslides, (Naples, Italy, 12-19 June 2016). The book aims to emphasize the relationship between landslides and other natural hazards. Hence, three of the main sessions focus on Volcanic-induced landslides, Earthquake-induced landslides and Weather-induced landslides respectively, while the fourth main session deals with Human-induced landslides. Some papers presented in a special session devoted to "Subareal and submarine landslide processes and hazard” and in a “Young Session” complete the books. Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice underlines the importance of the classic approach of modern science, which moves from experience to theory, as the basic instrument to study landslides. Experience is the key to understand the natural phenomena focusing on all the factors that play a major role. Theory is the instrument to manage the data provided by experience following a mathematical approach; this allows not only to clarify the nature and the deep causes of phenomena but mostly, to predict future and, if required, manage similar events. Practical benefits from the results of theory to protect people and man-made works. Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice is useful to scientists and practitioners working in the areas of rock and soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, engineering geology and geology.

This book sheds new light on improved methods for the study of the initiation and run-out of earthquake-induced landslides. It includes an initiation study method that considers tension-shear failure mechanism; an improved, rigorous, dynamic sliding-block method based on dynamic critical acceleration; and a run-out analysis of earthquake-induced landslides that takes account of the trampoline effect, all of which add to the accuracy and accessibility of landslide study. The book includes abundant illustrations, figures and tables, making it a valuable resource for those looking for practical landslide research tools.
