(Springer, 2006-03)A major landslide event occurred at Pollatomish, County Mayo, Ireland in September 2003, during a period of intense rainfall. It comprised about 30 significant individual longitudinal planar type slides of peat and ...
-
(Springer, 2010-01)Simple limit equilibrium analyses can be performed to determine the Factor of Safety (FOS) against slope failure of unsaturated soil slopes. However, many of the input parameters needed for these analyses are highly variable, ...
-
(Royal Irish Academy, 2010-12)Although peat slope failures have occurred in Ireland for many thousands of years their causal factors and the triggering mechanisms involved are poorly understood. A particular barrier to quantitative assessment of the ...
-
(Geological Society of London, 2008-02)Recent peat failures in Ireland in the autumn of 2003 at Pollatomish, County Mayo and Derrybrien, County Galway have focused attention on such events. However, peat failures are not a recent phenomenon with possible ...
-
(NRC Research Press, 2008-12)Soil nailing is being used in many projects in glacial tills in Ireland, particularly to provide temporary support to steep slopes. Little design guidance is available for such materials and it is known that application ...
-
(Institution of Civil Engineers, 2009-08)Rainfall induced landslides are a major cause of disturbance to transport networks in many parts of the world. In slopes where the water table is some depth below the ground surface, negative pore water pressure (suctions) ...
