Landslide Mitigation Using Granular Shear Keys: Observations from a Review of 38 Case Studies
DownloadFall 2017
Canadian transportation industries have been using granular shear keys to remediate shallow slope instabilities for decades. Engineers have used limit equilibrium (LE) analyses as the standard method for designing these granular shear keys (Wyllie & Mah, 2004). These LE analyses do not account...

Landslide Risk to Railway Operations and Resilience in the Thompson River Valley near Ashcroft, British Columbia
DownloadFall 2017
This thesis investigates the hazard frequency and associated risk posed by twelve large landslides in the Thompson River Valley south of Ashcroft, British Columbia, which are collectively referred to as the Ashcroft Thompson River landslides. The Canadian National and Canadian Pacific railways...

Landslides in weakly cemented glaciolacustrine sediments, Morkill River valley, British Columbia
Download2001
Abstract: Slopes in weakly cemented glaciolacustrine sediments in the Morkill River valley in the Canadian Rocky Mountains stand at up to 70 degrees. Based on field and laboratory observations it appears that a contributing factor to instability is the softening of the soils by frost action and...

Fall 2015
In this research, a literature review is conducted for landslide reactivation and movement caused by reservoir water level fluctuation around the world and especially in China in the past decades. Based on the movement patterns and characteristics, landslides triggered by reservoir level...

Cruden, D. M., Morgenstern, N. R., El-Ramly, H.
A probabilistic slope analysis methodology based on Monte Carlo simulation using Microsoft Excel and @Risk software is applied to investigate the failure of the Shek Kip Mei cut in Hong Kong. The study demonstrates the techniques used in quantifying uncertainties in shear strength of granitic...

Quantitative Risk Assessment of Natural and Cut Slopes: Measuring Uncertainty in the Estimated Risks and Proposed Framework for Developing Risk Evaluation Criteria
DownloadFall 2013
Understanding and limiting the risks inherent to natural and cut slopes are now recognized to be a priority in achieving an acceptable quality of life. Various methods of risk management that have been proposed in the last three decades have evolved into a general framework for landslide risk...
