Landslides and collapses in seismic zones and their prediction
Summary Attention is paid to the fact that with catastrophic earthquakes 80–90% of human casualties and material damage is associated not with the earthquake proper but with subsequent phenomena, primarily landslides and collapses. Their main reasons are seismic accelerations, change of the gradient angle of unstable planes and thixotropic affects on grounds. Nine types of seismogenic landslides and collapses are distinguished. It is underlined that the greatest landslides and collapses in highly seismic regions have a tendency to be repeated in the same regions. For the establishment of such regions the palaeoseismogeological method is of great importance. It has been worked out at the Institute of the Earth's crust, Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
