Large landslides or debris flows caused by heavy rainfall or earthquakes often block rivers in mountainous areas and form landslide dams. The area upstream of the landslide dam is submerged under water and the downstream area is flooded when the landslide dam breaks. In recorded history, as many as 22 landslide dams have formed upstream of the Shinano River and the Hime River, in the northern part of Nagano Prefecture in central Japan, and all except three have subsequently broken. This abundance of landslide dams is probably caused by the geotectonic background of this area, which is located at the western end of the “Fossa Magna” major tectonic line. In this study, we examined three large historical landslide dams and outburst disasters in the north Fossa Magna area.

In this article, experimental tests were conducted to study the characteristics of the surge wave and its effects on the failure process of a glacier dam. The results indicated that two obvious surges were monitored by pore pressure transducers (PPTs) when the blockage slid into water. The surge wave attenuated exponentially near the plunging location and then attenuated slowly when it propagated downstream. When the surge wave reached the glacier dam it climbed up along the dam and flew over. Sequential propagating surges exerting on the dam were one of the main factors causing the failure of the glacier dam. The failure mechanism of glacier dam triggered by the surge waves under different initial water supply conditions was primarily analyzed in this article.

Recent climate change caused by global warming has affected the environment in Korea, resulting in increased precipitation and frequency and magnitudes of typhoons. From 1994-2003, a mean of 2.3 days/year experienced heavy rainfall (≥80 mm), in contrast to a mean of 1.6 days/year from 1954-1963. Of the ten typhoons that have resulted in the maximum daily rainfall over the last ten decades, seven occurred between 1990 and 2007. The maximum instantaneous wind velocity of typhoons has greatly increased from 20 m/sec (in the 1970s) to 40 m/sec (in the 2000s). Furthermore, increases in the occurrence and scale of forest fires and landslides, as well as increased infrastructure and land use, contribute to sediment disasters. Accordingly, environmental changes and human-induced factors have resulted in significant increases in the magnitude and frequency of natural disasters, especially in the Gangwon region on the east coast of Korea. Therefore, in 2004 the Korea Forest Service instituted an integrated and environmentally-friendly system for forest management, which has helped prevent sediment disasters. Multiple prevention strategies are also required in addition to these systemic changes to forest structure management, including control of hill-slope erosion and torrent erosion, debris flow mitigation, water storage and slit dams, grade-stabilization structures and forest improvement, and watershed management.

The output of the seismic devices commonly employed for the monitoring of debris flows, such as geophones and seismometers, is a voltage that is directly proportional to the ground vibration velocity. The output signal in analogical form is usually digitalized at a fixed sampling frequency to be opportunely processed. The processing is performed to both reduce the amount of data to be stored in a data-logger and to reveal the main features of the phenomenon that are not immediately detectable in the raw signal, such as its main front, eventual subsequent surges, the wave form and so on. The processing also allows a better and sounder development of algorithms, when seismic devices are employed for warning purposes. However, the processing of the raw signal alters in different ways the original raw data, depending on the processing method adopted. This may consequently limit or reduce the efficacy of the warning. Different methods of data processing can be found in literature, each with its own advantages and shortcomings. In this paper we will explore and discuss the effects of some of these latter on the efficacy of the algorithms employed for warning, applying them to the seismic recordings obtained in the instrumented basins of Gadria (Italy), Rebaixader (Spain) and Illgraben (Switzerland).
