Landslides from the February 4, 1976, Guatemala Earthquake


Book Description

A description of the largest landslides, a discussion of failure mechanisms, a mapping of landslides throughout most of the landslide-affected area, and a mapping of landslide concentration in the Guatemala City area.




The Guatemalan Earthquake of February 4, 1976


Book Description

A preliminary report of a series of closely related studies of the destructive Guatemalan earthquake of February 4, 1976.
















Earthquake-Induced Landslides


Book Description

This book sheds new light on improved methods for the study of the initiation and run-out of earthquake-induced landslides. It includes an initiation study method that considers tension-shear failure mechanism; an improved, rigorous, dynamic sliding-block method based on dynamic critical acceleration; and a run-out analysis of earthquake-induced landslides that takes account of the trampoline effect, all of which add to the accuracy and accessibility of landslide study. The book includes abundant illustrations, figures and tables, making it a valuable resource for those looking for practical landslide research tools.
