Brief communication "Landslide Early Warning System: toolbox and general concepts"
Intrieri, E.; Gigli, G.; Casagli, N.; Nadim, Farrokh (Journal article, 2013)We define landslide Early Warning Systems and present practical guidelines to assist end-users with limited experience in the design of landslide Early Warning Systems (EWSs). In particular, two flow chart-based tools ... -
Characterization of method Uncertainty for Axial Pile Design
Liu, Zhongqiang; Nadim, Farrokh; Lacasse, Suzanne (Chapter, 2018)The paper describes two approaches for deriving the mean, standard deviation and probability density function of the method uncertainty for an axial pile capacity calculation method. The focus of this paper is on estimating ... -
Decision-Based Approach to Account for Uncertainty in Estimating the Overtopping Hazard to Manage Risk for Dams
Feng, Kai; Mostofi, Azadeh; Habibi, Mahdi; Gilbert, Robert B.; Nadim, Farrokh (Chapter, 2019)This paper describes and demonstrates an approach to improve the management of risks from small-probability events that can lead to large consequences. It applies a decision-based theory to account for limited information ... -
Earthquake Disaster Risk Reduction in Iran: Lessons and ‘‘Lessons Learned’’ from Three Large Earthquake Disasters—Tabas 1978, Rudbar 1990, and Bam 2003
Ibrion, Mihaela; Mokhtari, Mohammad; Nadim, Farrokh (Journal article, 2015)This article addresses three large earthquake disasters in Iran: Tabas in 1978, Rudbar in 1990, and Bam in 2003. Lessons and "Lessons Learned" from these three earthquake disasters were investigated together with their ... -
Hydrological Risk: Landslide

Hydrometeorological threshold conditions for debris flow initiation in Norway
Meyer, Nele Kristin; Dyrrdal, Anita Verpe; Frauenfelder, Regula; Etzelmuller, Bernd; Nadim, Farrokh (Journal article, 2012)Debris flows, triggered by extreme precipitation events and rapid snow melt, cause considerable damage to the Norwegian infrastructure every year. To define intensity-duration (ID) thresholds for debris flow initiation ... -
Landslide displacement prediction based on wavelet transform and long short-term memory neural network
Yang, Beibei; Liu, Zhongqiang; Lacasse, Suzanne; Nadim, Farrokh (Chapter, 2019)The prediction of landslide displacement is a key component of an early warning system to mitigate landslide risk. Most of the models for landslide displacement prediction are static models. Yet, landslides move dynamically. ... -
Reliability-based approach for robust geotechnical design
Nadim, Farrokh (Chapter, 2017)Although geotechnical engineers have to deal with uncertainty and risk all the time, it is not common to talk about uncertainties and risk in the profession. Uncertainties are often addressed indirectly through the choice ... -
Risk assessment and dams – Recent developments and applications
Lacasse, Suzanne; Nadim, Farrokh; Liu, Zhongqiang; Eidsvig, Unni; Le, Thi Minh Hue; Lin, C.G. (Chapter, 2019)Increasingly, society and standards require "risk-informed" decisions. The paper demonstrates the benefits of implementing reliability and risk concepts in dam engineering as a complement to conventional deterministic ... -
Roads at risk: Traffic detours from debris flows in southern Norway
Meyer, Nele Kristin; Schwanghart, Wolfgang; Korup, Oliver; Nadim, Farrokh (Journal article, 2015)Globalisation and interregional exchange of people, goods, and services has boosted the importance of and reliance on all kinds of transport networks. The linear structure of road networks is especially sensitive to natural ... -
Spatial variability of medium dense sand deposit
Liu, Zhongqiang; Amdal, Åse Marit Wist; L Heureux, Jean-Sebastien; Lacasse, Suzanne; Nadim, Farrokh; Xie, Xin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This paper presents a study of the spatial variability of the cone resistance in a medium dense sand deposit in Norway. Spatial variability studies have been done earlier for clay deposits, but there are few results available ...
