Coupled seismogenic geohazards in Alpine regions

Lyesse Laloui, Pierino Lestuzzi, Alessio Ferrari, Clotaire Michel, Fabrice Dupray, Amin Karbassi, Cyrill Silvan Baumann

COupled seismogenic GEohazards in Alpine Regions (COGEAR) is an interdisciplinary natural hazard project investigating the hazard chain induced by earthquakes. It addresses tectonic processes and the related variability of seismicity in space and time, ear ...

Experimental and numerical analysis of an unsaturated volcanic ash deposit for the establishment of an early warning system in a quarry in Costa Rica

Lyesse Laloui, John Eichenberger, Elliot James Fern, Alessio Ferrari

The paper presents the work carried out for the analysis of the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a volcanic ash in unsaturated conditions for the establishment of a landslide eary warning system (EWS) in a Costa Rican quarry. Rapid mass movements involving as ...

Coupled Hydrogeological and Geomechanical Modelling for the Analysis of Slowly-Moving Landslides

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari

Slow movements of natural slopes are quite frequent in mountainous or hilly areas. They may display occasional crises, mostly related to the increase of pore water pressures induced by exceptional climatic conditions. A methodology consisting of combining ...

Volume change behaviour of a compacted scaly clay during cyclic suction changes

Alessio Ferrari

The research presented in this paper focuses on the investigation and modelling of the volume change response of compacted tectonised clay samples subjected to several wetting and drying cycles in controlled-suction oedometers. Oedometer tests were carried ...

Effect of climate change on landslide behaviour

Lyesse Laloui, John Eichenberger, Alessio Ferrari

Landslides represent a major threat to human life, constructed facilities and infrastructure in most mountainous regions of the world. Considering future climate scenarios and modified precipitation patterns, the landslide activity will most probably chang ...

Hydro-Mechanical Modelling of a Natural Slope Affected by a Multiple Slip Surface Failure Mechanism

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari

A coupled hydro-mechanical formulation is presented for the analysis of landslide motion during crisis episodes. The mathematical formulation is used to model a natural slope affected by a multiple slip surface failure mechanism, in which pore water pressu ...

Investigations on water retention behaviour of deformable soils

Lyesse Laloui, Mathieu Nuth, Alessio Ferrari, Simon Salager

The trend in modern unsaturated soil mechanics is to enhance the physical understanding of the soil water retention properties. It is agreed that the retention characteristics depend on the state of compaction and are related to the deformability of the me ...

Rainfall thresholds for shallow landslides based on a numerical analysis

Lyesse Laloui, John Eichenberger, Alessio Ferrari

Shallow landslides in Alpine regions frequently occur during heavy precipitation events or extremely fast snow melting processes. Early-warning is mostly based on simple empirical rainfall intensity and duration curves indicating probable critical climatic ...

Geomechanical modeling of the Steinernase landslide (Switzerland)

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari

A geomechanical model was developed to analyse the behaviour of a natural slope located on the bank of the Rhine River between the towns of Stein and Mumpf in Switzerland. The slope is affected by a landslide and three strategic infrastructure assets are l ...
