The growing demand for space in mountainous areas due to expansion of infrastructure and housing leads to increased interaction between manmade structures and existing slope instabilities such as creeping landslides. A special class of problems caused by creeping landslides concerns artificial water reservoirs. Continuous existing movement of the reservoir flanks or reactivation of a dormant creeping landslide due to filling of the reservoir endangers both the reservoir operation and the downstream communities. Reducing the threat posed by the unstable reservoir flanks requires monitoring programs and extensive stabilization works. In order to design stabilization measures and early warning systems, an improved understanding of the landslide mechanics under normal and extreme conditions (heavy rain and earthquakes) is critical. Existing significant uncertainties with respect to the analysis of landslide behaviour during earthquakes do not allow for reliable assessment of the probability of catastrophic acceleration of the landslide. Such a catastrophic collapse of the landslide into the reservoir lake could cause an impulse wave that can overflow the dam and endanger communities downstream. The goal of the research project is the development of a computational framework for analysis of seismic response of creeping landslides. The framework is based on the suitable formulations of the corresponding boundary value problems, including necessary constitutive models and the guidance on how to determine parameters of these models. A numerical tool is developed to solve the boundary value problems and used for the analysis of the seismic response of a number of typical creeping landslides. The research project will lead to a more fundamental understanding of the behavior of creeping landslide during earthquake and the involved mechanical processes. Moreover, it will improve the procedure of how to model creeping landslides subjected to earthquakes and how to get to possible predictions.
