Book Characteristics  Timing  and Hazard Potential of Liquefaction induced Landsliding in the Farmington Siding Landslide Complex  Davis County  Utah

Download or read book Characteristics Timing and Hazard Potential of Liquefaction induced Landsliding in the Farmington Siding Landslide Complex Davis County Utah written by Michael D. Hylland and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 1998 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Farmington Siding landslide complex is in Davis County, Utah, about 25 kilometers north of Salt Lake City. The landslide complex covers approximately 19.5 square kilometers and is one of 13 late Pleistocene/Holocene features along the Wasatch Front mapped by previous investigators as possible liquefaction-induced lateral spreads. The Farmington Siding landslide complex is in a largely rural area, but state and interstate highways, railroads, petroleum and natural-gas pipelines, and other lifelines cross the complex. Continued population growth along the Wasatch Front increases the likelihood of urban development within and adjacent to the landslide complex. Development along the Wasatch Front has proceeded with little consideration of hazards associated with liquefaction-induced landslides. Slope-failure mechanisms, extent of internal deformation, and timing of landslide events are poorly understood, and these factors must be evaluated to enable local governments to effectively plan for development and implement hazard-reduction strategies as needed. The purpose of this study is to assess the hazard associated with future liquefaction-induced landsliding within and adjacent to the Farmington Siding landslide complex by evaluating slope-failure modes and extent of internal deformation within the complex, inferring the geologic and hydrologic conditions under which landsliding occurred, determining the timing of landsliding, and evaluating the relative likelihood of various earthquake source zones to trigger liquefaction-induced landsliding. We chose the Farmington Siding landslide complex for this study because of the distinctiveness of geomorphic features on the northern part of the complex and the presence of landslide deposits that are clearly of different ages. Furthermore, because much of the area is rural, appropriate land-use planning measures can still be implemented to protect future development.

Book Alluvial Fan Flooding

    Book Details:
  • Author : National Research Council
  • Publisher : National Academies Press
  • Release : 1996-11-07
  • ISBN : 0309055423
  • Pages : 183 pages

Download or read book Alluvial Fan Flooding written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-11-07 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alluvial fans are gently sloping, fan-shaped landforms common at the base of mountain ranges in arid and semiarid regions such as the American West. Floods on alluvial fans, although characterized by relatively shallow depths, strike with little if any warning, can travel at extremely high velocities, and can carry a tremendous amount of sediment and debris. Such flooding presents unique problems to federal and state planners in terms of quantifying flood hazards, predicting the magnitude at which those hazards can be expected at a particular location, and devising reliable mitigation strategies. Alluvial Fan Flooding attempts to improve our capability to determine whether areas are subject to alluvial fan flooding and provides a practical perspective on how to make such a determination. The book presents criteria for determining whether an area is subject to flooding and provides examples of applying the definition and criteria to real situations in Arizona, California, New Mexico, Utah, and elsewhere. The volume also contains recommendations for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which is primarily responsible for floodplain mapping, and for state and local decisionmakers involved in flood hazard reduction.

Book Soil Landscape Analysis

  • Author : Francis Doan Hole
  • Publisher : Government Institutes
  • Release : 1985
  • ISBN : 9780865981409
  • Pages : 226 pages

Download or read book Soil Landscape Analysis written by Francis Doan Hole and published by Government Institutes. This book was released on 1985 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All forms of plant, animal, and human life are supported by soil, and there has been a recent need for a fully documented analysis of terrain that draws on many available sources in this country and abroad. This illustrated text has answered that need. Going beyond soil morphology and classification to provide an interpretation of the patterns of soil bodies and the distribution of plant and animal communities on land, the authors have provided an ideal introduction for students of the landscape.
