Integrated Risk Assessment of Hydrologically-Driven Landslides
Abstract
Landslides and debris flows are serious geo-hazards common to countries with mountainous terrains. The partnership of this multidisciplinary exchange programme brings together researchers from the European Union, Asia and Central America. The scientific goal of HYDRODRIL tries to address the urgent need of understanding and forecasting of triggering mechanisms of landslides and establish coherent strategies for disasters prevention and mitigation. further to investigate and evaluate the risk and nature of hydrologically-driven landslides, therefore contributing to better understanding of the relationship between small-scale deformations in soil/rock structures, the failure mechanisms induced by these deformations and the following large-scale dynamic behavior, as well as detailed risk assessment. Moreover, monitoring and stabilization measures will be investigated. The project will be carried out by a multidisciplinary team of geotechnical engineering, geology, hydrogeology and geography. The focus is on the exchange of research staff and knowledge transfer.
