Assessment of Internal and External Factors Causing Slow-Moving Landslides
Source abstract
Abstract
There have been limited studies on slow-moving landslides in South Korea despite their frequent occurrence. Moreover, a national slow-moving landslide hazard information system (SMLHIS) is needed. Herein, we conducted an overlap analysis of 15 slow-moving landslide areas with clear occurrence timings with national landslide hazard maps (LHMs) using the geographic information system data. Additionally, internal and external factors causing slow-moving landslides were analyzed. The results of the overlap analysis showed that slow-moving landslide areas occurred in low-hazard and excluded non-hazard areas on the LHM. The study of internal factors revealed that slow-moving landslides occurred mainly in the Gyeongsang supergroup, which has sedimentary rock type and sandy loam. The analysis of external factors, e.g., rainfall, showed that slow-moving landslides occurred during intensive rainfall, with continuous and 15-day antecedent rainfall exceeding 100 and 200 mm, respectively. The longer the continuous rainfall duration before a slow-moving landslide; the greater the rainfall on the day of the landslide; the greater the maximum hourly rainfall; the greater the 3-, 5-, and 7-day antecedent rainfalls; and the greater the rainfall intensity during the landslide, the greater the size of the slow-moving landslide. This study provides information for developing a national SMLHIS, presenting novel perspectives for slow-moving landslide research.
