  • Earthquake-induced landslide hazard mapping 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Saade, Angela; Wartman, Joseph; Grant, Alex (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018-02-28)
    Located in a seismic zone with a rugged topography, Lebanon is classified as highly vulnerable to earthquake and landslide hazards. According to Keefer (1984), even small magnitude earthquakes may trigger landslides leading ...
  • Landslide hazard mapping for Lebanon 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Wartman, Joseph (Korea Geotechnical Society, 2022-06-20)
    Landslides are a major hazard in Lebanon due to the country’s rugged topography and its setting in a region of high seismicity and high rainfall intensity. The situation is further exasperated by rapid expansion in urban ...
  • Landslide susceptibility mapping based on triggering factors using a multi-modal approach 
    Kaafarani, Rouba; Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Wartman, Joseph; Tawk, Miriam (2022-06-10)
    Landslide susceptibility mapping has been done using statistical and physically-based assessment techniques with limited focus on mode-specific models to identify failure modes and runout patterns. Because each failure ...
  • Multimodal method for coseismic landslide hazard assessment 
    Grant, Alex; Wartman, Joseph; Abou-Jaoude, Grace (2018-02-28)
    Regional-scale coseismic landslide hazard assessments have traditionally been based on infinite-slope analyses, considering only a single mode of failure. Inventories and landslide reconnaissance work have shown a diverse ...
  • Multimodal method for landslide risk analysis 
    Pollock, William; Grant, Alex; Wartman, Joseph; Abou-Jaoude, Grace (2022-06-09)
    Quantitative landslide risk analysis is a key step in creating appropriate land use policies. However, regional scale landslide hazard and risk studies are traditionally based on a single, infinite-slope style of failure, ...
  • Quantitative coseismic and precipitation-induced landslide risk mapping for the country of Lebanon 
    Pollock, William; Wartman, Joseph; Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Grant, Alex (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2022-06-09)
    Quantitative landslide risk assessment is a key step in creating appropriate land use policies. The forced migration of those displaced by recent events in Syria has highlighted the need for studies to guide humanitarian ...
  • Regional-scale co-seismic landslide assessment using limit equilibrium analysis 
    Saade, Angela; Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Wartman, Joseph (2016-06-03)
    Traditionally, regional assessment of seismic slope stability has been done using the infinite slope-rigid sliding block analysis. A major disadvantage of this approach is the resulting overestimation of the critical ...
  • Risk at the margins 
    Pollock, William; Wartman, Joseph; Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Grant, Alex (2022-06-09)
    Quantitative landslide risk analysis is a key step in creating appropriate land use policies. The forced migration of those displaced by recent armed conflict in Syria has highlighted the need for studies to guide humanitarian ...
  • A Terrain classification system for coseismic landslide hazard analysis: Lebanon, a case study 
    Grant, Alex R.; Wartman, Joseph; Abou-Jaoude, Grace (2018-03-01)
    Coseismic landslides have caused vast amounts of damage throughout history, and are often responsible for more damage than all other seismic hazards combined (Kramer, 1996). To better assess coseismic landslide hazard on ...
