Abstract: The liquefaction potential index (LPI) has increasingly been used for assessing liquefaction hazards induced by earthquake shaking. The LPI allows an integral number of soil horizons to be evaluated for liquefaction ...

Abstract: As a part of an earthquake hazard mapping program being undertaken by the U.S. Geological Survey in the St. Louis metropolitan area, surficial geologic mapping and subsurface geotechnical data have been compiled into a ...

Abstract: A significant number of landslides have occurred along the upper Indus River which resulted in temporary landslide dams. All of these debris dams eventually breach, often causing catastrophic flooding downstream. Remote ...

Abstract: Landslides pose a significant hazard to life and property in areas vulnerable to mass movements. Qualitative landslide susceptibility maps offer a preliminary means of screening locations likely susceptible to slope ...
