Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Geotechnical Engineering (OGE) of the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) recognizes the need to develop a strategy to provide timely preventive maintenance to avoid on-set of large or catastrophic slope failures. Furthermore, with limited financial resources, the OGE is forced to make rational decisions on the priority of various landslide (slope failure) maintenance and remediation needs. To address these issues, this research project was undertaken with the following objectives: (a) Develop a field validated landslide geological hazard rating matrix, (b) Develop field reconnaissance forms in paper format and electronic format (window plus ArcPad), (c) Develop and deploy a web enabled, GIS based landslide database, and (d) Develop a user's manual and training materials for the landslide geological hazard database. Based on synthesis of literature review of existing practices, ODOT in-house expert opinions, and knowledge of prevalent Ohio geological formations in landslide prone areas, the principal investigator developed the ODOT specific landslide hazard rating system, together with the field site reconnaissance form. A pilot database containing 39 landslide sites was compiled and statistically analyzed to ascertain the reasonableness of the hazard rating outcome. A web accessible landslide database in a GIS platform was developed, pilot tested, and deployed. In addition, a user's manual was developed to assist training of the future users of the system. The benefits from full implementation of the landslide database and landslide hazard rating matrix include: (a) elimination of excessive paper work, (b) near real-time monitoring and data management, (c) centralized information, (d) uniform data collection and reporting, (e) enhanced data sharing. Furthermore, the Ohio Department of Transportation can reap the benefits of cost saving due to early stage detection of landslide and taking pro-active remediation measures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report gives an overview and summarizes the results of the research conducted under the four geotechnical projects established during the 1970's. It describes the efforts and results of 25 years of research spanning three decades from 1973-1998. The main purpose of the report is to provide a summary of the FHWA geotechnical research activities over the last quarter of the 20th century. It is intended for the general engineers and administrative managers of FHWA and the SHA's. Also presented are descriptions of the various problems that were addressed; and the report discusses the objectives and scope of each project in detail, except for the Tunneling Project, which is reported elsewhere (see appendix B). A review of each project's organization and approach is presented before the results are noted and evaluated. Technology transfer and future research needs are also covered separately to highlight the important nature of each topic.

This book was released on 2004-03-15 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landslides occur in all geographic regions of the nation in response to a wide range of conditions and triggering processes that include storms, earthquakes, and human activities. Landslides in the United States result in an estimated average of 25 to 50 deaths annually and cost $1 to 3 billion per year. In addition to direct losses, landslides also cause significant environmental damage and societal disruption. Partnerships for Reducing Landslide Risk reviews the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS)National Landslide Hazards Mitigation Strategy, which was created in response to a congressional directive for a national approach to reducing losses from landslides. Components of the strategy include basic research activities, improved public policy measures, and enhanced mitigation of landslides. This report commends the USGS for creating a national approach based on partnerships with federal, state, local, and non-governmental entities, and finds that the plan components are the essential elements of a national strategy. Partnerships for Reducing Landslide Risk recommends that the plan should promote the use of risk analysis techniques, and should play a vital role in evaluating methods, setting standards, and advancing procedures and guidelines for landslide hazard maps and assessments. This report suggests that substantially increased funding will be required to implement a national landslide mitigation program, and that as part of a 10-year program the funding mix should transition from research and guideline development to partnership-based implementation of loss reduction measures.
