An Experimental Landslide Model for Guwahati City using Optical Sensors

Abstract

Landslide is a major natural hazard that affects the human habitat. In this work, an experimental model is proposed that will establish the relation between slope angle, pore pressure, soil moisture and rain water. Both the seepage water as well as artificial rain water can be used for the experiment. In the introduction part, main causes of landslide are discussed. The second part defines the problem formulation. Third part of this paper list out the objectives of the experiments that are to be done. Fourth part is the various literature works that are already done in this field. The fifth part discusses the methodologies that include the basic schematic diagram for the landslide area. The expected outcome, conclusion and reference are discussed in the later parts of this paper.
