Landslide susceptibility maps
Landslide susceptibility maps
(OP)
Hello,
We are currently working on to create the first zoning of landslide susceptibility maps in Algeria. Problem is we are mostly composed of geotechnical engineers with little to no knowledge of what this mission requires . I know for sure that this is the job of a geomorphological engineer , so i was wondering if someone could provide me with just a resume of the methods used for such a mission , and a document that teach you how to visually detect landslide prone areas.
thank you

I know the US Navy published several texts on the subject.

Look for cliffs with steeply sloping exposed soil faces.
Look for horizontal cracks in the slope surface.
Look for trees that are leaning or curved up.
Look for overburden over a sloped clay lens with springs at the top of the clay layer.
Look for areas with a history of landslides from the general topographic maps.
