Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Rainfall is the main trigger factor for various natural geohazards, such as landslides, rock avalanches, debris flows, and ground collapses. In recent years, with the frequent occurrence of extreme rainfall events, the natural geohazards have correspondingly increased around the world. This not only constantly poses a huge threat to human life and property, but also seriously damages the balance of natural ecosystems. Thus, it is of great significance to explore the mechanisms, evaluation methods, and prediction models of rainfall-induced landslides and natural geohazards for disaster risk management and ecological environment protection.

This Special Issue invites the submission of original research papers covering the latest findings and progress in the field of rainfall-induced landslides and natural geohazards. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Mechanism analysis of rainfall-induced natural geohazards using physical or data-driven methods.
  • Numerical modeling and stability analysis of natural geohazards under extreme rainfall conditions.
  • Spatial/temporal prediction models for natural geohazards considering extreme rainfall events.

The saturated permeability coefficient (ks) is a key parameter for evaluating the seepage and stability of reservoir colluvial landslides. However, ks values obtained from traditional experimental methods are often characterized by large variations and low representativeness. As a result, there are significant deviations from actual observations when used in seepage field calculations for reservoir landslide analysis. This study proposes an intelligent inversion method that combines a physical model and a data-driven model for reservoir landslide ks based on actual groundwater level (GWL) monitoring data. This method combines Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS), unsaturated flow finite element (FE) analysis, particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO), and kernel extreme learning machine model (KELM). Taking the Hongyanzi landslide in Sichuan Province, China, as the research object, the GWL of the landslide under different ks was first obtained by LHS and transient seepage FE analysis. Then, a nonlinear functional relationship between ks and the landslide GWL was fitted based on the PSO-KELM model. Finally, the optimal landslide ks was obtained by minimizing the root-mean-squared error between the predicted and actual GWL using the PSO. A global sensitivity analysis was also conducted on the ks of different rock and soil layers to reveal their control rules on the calculation of landslide GWL. The research results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method and provide valuable information for similar landslides in practice. Full article

The susceptibility of loess slopes to collapses, landslides, and sinkholes is a global concern. Rainfall is a key factor exacerbating these issues and affecting slope stability. In regions experiencing significant infrastructure and urban growth, understanding and mitigating rainfall effects on loess landslides is crucial. ADINA numerical software 9 was utilized to explore rain-induced erosion’s influence on landslide dynamics. The simulations were based on local rainfall trends. The rainfall intensities examined were as follows: 200 mm/day, 300 mm/day, and 400 mm/day. The results indicate a pronounced impact of rainfall intensity on both the movement and stress levels within the slope. Higher rainfall intensities lead to increased movement and a wider stress impact area at the base of the slope. It was observed that surface movement is minimal at the slope crest but increases towards the bottom, with the greatest movement seen at the slope’s base. Full article
