This paper is aimed at creating an empirical model for assessing failure potential of highway slopes, with a special attention to the failure characteristics of the highway slopes in the Alishan, Taiwan area prior to, and post, the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan earthquake. The basis of the study is a large database of 955 slope records from four highways in the Alishan area. Artificial neural network (ANN)...
The Chiu-fen-erh-shan landslide was a huge dip-slope avalanche triggered by the devastating Chi-Chi earthquake in central Taiwan in 1999. Anomalous geomorphic precursors, such as ground subsidence and thrust, which are signs of slope instability, were subsequently observed on the lower slope of the Chiu-fen-erh-shan landslide in November, 2002. Post-failure behavior and affected area of the lower...
