How can massive landslides be tackled by installing sensors?
Gravity continuously pulls soil and rock downhill on hillsides, and rainfall that seeps into the ground modifies the forces or stresses on those hillside materials. A landslide occurs if the stress changes are significant enough to defy the material resistance of the hillside. Heavy or persistent rain is one of the main factors that contribute to landslides. A reliable system of forecasting and warning can significantly lessen the damage that rainfall causes. Landslides can be managed and mitigated when efficient measures are taken. How can landslide monitoring be done? In general, landslide-prone places can take the following actions: geotechnical solutions are deployed for regular monitoring of instability of the slope to stay alert for any emergency event use the proper slope stabilisation techniques to prevent any further deformation of slope and stablise it develop a real-time online monitoring program to keep a track of slope stability When combined with efficient measures to...
