Physical Modelling of Rainfall Induced Landslides Using Laboratory Flume Tests

Laboratory flume tests (small and large) will be carried out on scaled slopes prepared using soils collected from different landslide prone areas. The soil slopes will be prepared at density corresponding to field density and using the hydraulic system in the flume, slopes of different angles can be modelled. Rainfall of different intensities are generated using a rainfall simulation system consisting of nozzles and pressure gauges. The time to failure of slopes from the start of rainfall, duration and intensity of rainfall are noted down, thereby generating intensity-duration thresholds for different landslide prone areas. Based on the failure pattern different mitigation measures can also be suggested.
