This book was released on 2004-03-15 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landslides occur in all geographic regions of the nation in response to a wide range of conditions and triggering processes that include storms, earthquakes, and human activities. Landslides in the United States result in an estimated average of 25 to 50 deaths annually and cost $1 to 3 billion per year. In addition to direct losses, landslides also cause significant environmental damage and societal disruption. Partnerships for Reducing Landslide Risk reviews the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS)National Landslide Hazards Mitigation Strategy, which was created in response to a congressional directive for a national approach to reducing losses from landslides. Components of the strategy include basic research activities, improved public policy measures, and enhanced mitigation of landslides. This report commends the USGS for creating a national approach based on partnerships with federal, state, local, and non-governmental entities, and finds that the plan components are the essential elements of a national strategy. Partnerships for Reducing Landslide Risk recommends that the plan should promote the use of risk analysis techniques, and should play a vital role in evaluating methods, setting standards, and advancing procedures and guidelines for landslide hazard maps and assessments. This report suggests that substantially increased funding will be required to implement a national landslide mitigation program, and that as part of a 10-year program the funding mix should transition from research and guideline development to partnership-based implementation of loss reduction measures.

Book Synopsis The Bulldozer in the Countryside by : Adam Rome
Download or read book The Bulldozer in the Countryside written by Adam Rome and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-04-16 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concern today about suburban sprawl is not new. In the decades after World War II, the spread of tract-house construction changed the nature of millions of acres of land, and a variety of Americans began to protest against the environmental costs of suburban development. By the mid-1960s, indeed, many of the critics were attempting to institutionalize an urban land ethic. The Bulldozer in the Countryside was the first scholarly work to analyze the successes and failures of the varied efforts to address the environmental consequences of suburban growth from 1945 to 1970. For scholars and students of American history, the book offers a compelling insight into two of the great stories of modern times - the mass migration to the suburbs and the rise of the environmental movement. The book also offers a valuable historical perspective for participants in contemporary debates about the alternatives to sprawl.

Book Synopsis Geological and Geotechnical Factors Responsible for Landslide Susceptibility of the Kope Formation in Cincinnati, Ohio by : Michael P. Glassmeyer

This book was released on 2014 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to determine the factors responsible for the high frequency of landslide occurrence in the Kope Formation and the overlying colluvial soil present in the Cincinnati area and to prepare a landslide inventory map. The area around Cincinnati is one of the most landslide susceptible regions in the United States. Several million dollars are spent yearly by the government and private entities to repair landslide damage. Landslides within the Cincinnati area generally occur in colluvium derived from the Kope Formation. The Kope Formation consists of approximately 80% shale inter-bedded with 20% limestone. The colluvium that is formed from the weathering of the shale consists of a low plasticity clay. There are two main types of slope failures that occur in the Cincinnati area: rotational slides and translational slides. An inventory map was created using LiDAR data of the landslides that occurred in the colluvium derived from the Kope Formation. From the landslide inventory map, ten landslides were chosen for detailed study and undisturbed samples were collected from each site for laboratory testing. Of the ten landslide sites chosen, seven were rotational and three were translational in nature. One sample, representative of the slide material was collected from each rotational landslide. Two samples were collected from each translational landslide, one from the overlying colluvial soil and one from the underlying bedrock. Tests were conducted to determine natural water content, Atterberg limits, shear strength parameters, dry density, grain size distribution, and slake durability. For the translational landslides, strength parameters were determined by shearing the sample along the contact between the bedrock and the overlying colluvium. Multiple factors were found to contribute to landslide susceptibility of the Kope Formation and the overlying colluvium. These factors include: low shear strength of the colluvial soil; development of pore water pressure within the slope; human activities such as the addition of weight to the top of the slopes or the removal of material from the base of the slope; low to very low durability of the bedrock that allows rapid disintegration of the bedrock and accumulation of colluvial soil; undercutting of the slope toe by stream water; and the steepness of slopes.

Book excerpt: It seems that each decade brings a new theme that galvanizes the psyche of scientists. In the 1950s, it was 'nuclear'. In the 1960s, 'space' was in vogue. The 1970s saw 'ecology' come into fashion, and the 1980s buzzed with 'computers.' For the present decade, there can be little doubt that the focus is on 'the environment.'

Book Synopsis Assessment of Proposed Partnerships to Implement a National Landslide Hazards Mitigation Strategy by : National Research Council
Download or read book Assessment of Proposed Partnerships to Implement a National Landslide Hazards Mitigation Strategy written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-08-12 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landslides are a component of those agents of nature that transport rock and soil from mountains or hillsides to streams, lakes and seas, where new sedimentary rocks begin to form. Therefore, as well as destructive forces that can be induced by human activity, landslides are part of the earth's natural cyclic process of uplift, erosion, and sedimentation. With the growth of human population and the increasing habitation of ever-steeper slopes and higher altitudes, Man is both experiencing the effects of landslides and causing landslides with increasing frequency. These adverse effects include loss of life, injury, and damage to public and private works, as well as environmental damage. Accordingly, it is an opportune time to address the hazard posed by landslides, and to assess strategies to mitigate that hazard. Assessment of Proposed Partnerships to Implement a National Landslide Hazards Mitigation Strategy: Interim Reports is an interim statement addressing the U.S. Geological Survey's proposal for a national landslide hazards mitigation strategy. The scope of this interim report is constrained to assessing whether all the partners necessary for such a national strategy have been identified by the proposal-conclusions and recommendations to address the remainder of the statement of task will be presented in the committee's final report (e.g., will include comments regarding effective partnership implementation; funding strategies required for an effective mitigation program; and the balance between different components of a national strategy). In addition, in this interim report the committee offers a number of comments intended as interim guidance for the U.S. Geological Survey as it continues to plan a national strategy.
