Landslide hazard assessment in city under construction Innopolis (Russia)

Abstract

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.The paper reflects the main results of exploring the landslide hazard threating Innopolis city, precisely field and laboratory studies, assessment of the slope stability. A regional short-term landslide hazard forecast was performed using a digital model of geological medium and the method of engineering-geological analogy: an engineering-geological zoning was conducted; data from standard areas, the critical values of surface slopes were calculated for the identified types of soils and different types of humidity; the obtained data were extrapolated, verified and corrected. On the basis of the forecast, development of a landslide monitoring network is proved.
