Characteristics, Kinematics and Contributing Factors of Compound and Translational Landslides in the Interior Plains of Canada
Download2022-07-01
Biagini, Luiz, Macciotta, Renato, Gräpel, Chris, Tappenden, Kristen, Skirrow, Roger
Understanding landslide kinematics, their characteristics, and contributing factors is crucial for decision-making regarding mitigation strategies for infrastructure projects. These characteristics depend on the geomorphology of the area, climate, and proximity to water bodies and anthropogenic...

Evaluation of filtering methods for use on high-frequency measurements of landslide displacements
Download2022-01-01
Sharifi, Sohrab, Hendry, Michael T., Macciotta, Renato, Evans, Trevor
Displacement monitoring is a critical control for risks associated with potentially sudden slope failures. Instrument measurements are, however, obscured by the presence of scatter. Data filtering methods aim to reduce the scatter and therefore enhance the performance of early warning systems...

Fragmented Rockfall Volume Distribution from Photogrammetry-Based Structural Mapping and Discrete Fracture Networks
Download2020-01-01
Macciotta, Renato, Gräpel, Chris, Skirrow, Roger
The design of rockfall protection structures requires information about the falling block volumes. Computational tools for rockfall trajectory simulation are now capable of modeling block fragmentation, requiring the fragmented volume-relative frequency distribution of rockfalls as input. This...
