Mathematical and GIS-modeling of landslides in kharkiv region of Ukraine

Abstract

In view of the acute need to solve a problem related to a landslide hazard at local and regional levels, the system-based tool, which integrates a mathematical modeling and GIS technologies, has been developed. A mathematical model of landslide process was developed based on the theoretical grounds of statics of granular medium and the most frequently used calculation methods of slope stability coefficient by Maslov-Berer and Shakhunyants and value of landslide pressure by Shakhunyants. Presented model underlies design of software for modeling slopes stress condition given engineering-geological changes (LANDSLIP07). This software is used for analysis of landslide processes. These research activities have been carried out in the framework of the Institute of Telecommunications and Global Information Space of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and the IPL-153 Project "Landslide hazard zonation in Kharkov region of Ukraine using GIS". © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
