Title Landslides caused by turbulent flow of a liquid layer produced by rain on hillsides
Author(s) A. Ya. Sagomonyan (Moscow)
Abstract Landslide is a sliding motion of soil mass on a hillside caused by imbalance of forces. Part of the liquid carried by raindrops penetrates the porous soil and fills up its smallest interstices, thereby loosening the soil (weakening the forces of adhesion). As a result, a water-saturated medium is formed whose mechanical properties (viscous and plastic characteristics) differ from those of the soil prior to the rain. In this highly wetted ground, a thin layer is formed on the hillside under the action of the gravity force, and the particles of this layer start flowing downhill. It can be assumed that in this suspension current the soil and the fluid particles in the pores move with the same speed.
