Rainfall Induced Landslides—A Review

Kadamb, Ruchi R. / Savoikar, Purnanand P.

Major landslides take place in the world due to several reasons like human activities, heavy rainfall, snow melts and deforestations. A thorough study of landslide prone regions is required for ensuring the safety against this disaster. The triggering factors of landslides include climatic conditions of an area, soil-water characteristics, ground water conditions, quality of soil, topography and slope modifications. In most of the landslides that have occurred in the past, the common reason observed for the slope failure is the heavy rains at hilly regions. The present study aims to analyze slope failures or landslides occurring at several place in India and world due to high and continuous rainfall. Few other uncertainties may also be the root cause of landslide hazards. Rainfall threshold and antecedent rainfall are the elementary parameters of this study. The review includes a vast area of study with different methodologies and remedial systems provided for rainfall includes landslides. Few remedial measures for several landslide locations are discussed in the present study.
