Seismicity is a tremendous set off for landslides with frequently devastating results. The Japan Landslide Society (JLS) as a result equipped a gathering totally devoted to the learn sector of earthquake brought on landslides. The symposium covers all features of earthquake-induced landslides together with the phenomena happened in artifical embankments in addition to in common slopes in mountainous parts. during this accomplished quantity on landslide technology the JLS provides the complaints of this primary foreign Symposium on Earthquake-Induced Landslides, held in November 2012 in Kiryu, Japan.

Deaths India 97 China 7 Nepal 6 Bhutan 1 Bangladesh 0 111 php) The earthquake was felt across northeastern India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and southern Tibet. The earthquake struck near a mountainous, albeit very populous region near the Sikkim– Nepal border; most of the structures were reported to be highly vulnerable to earthquake shaking. Upon impact, tens of thousands of residents evacuated their homes, and many areas suffered from communication and power outages.

7 Lacustrine sediment accumulated at the tail-end of the past lake dammed by the LowerAral rockslide. Above—an overview. Below—marked part photographed in the shadow. 1 basal massive coarse arkose sand; 2 lower part of silt unit affected by liquefaction, whose portion in the center sank in the basal sand; 3 upper part of silt unit (boundary is marked by beheaded arrows) represented by nearly horizontal laminated layers layers (2 on Fig. 7). Liquefaction of loose water-saturated sediments and formation of liquefaction-induced features could have been caused by strong aftershock(s) that occurred after the primary earthquake.
