Reactivated landslides in stiff clays and shales typically move on a pre-existing shear surface and they display little or no internal deformation within the sliding mass. These landslide movements can be classified in “extremely slow” and “very slow” categories, with rates of movement of less than 16 mm/year, and between 16 mm/year to 1.6 m/year, respectively, according to the classification by Cruden and Varnes (1996). The rate of movement in these landslides increase with an increase in porewater pressure acting on the failure surface. The slow but pervasive movements of reactivated landslides are not expected to cause loss of life, however, they can severely damage structures including residential developments on slopes, or interrupt the serviceability of lifelines. These movements have a much longer life than rapid landslides; in some cases they last centuries or hundreds of years (e.g. Washington Park Reservoir slide in Oregon), indicating a potential use of monitoring, early warning and forecasting systems. The relations between piezometric levels, factor of safety and rate of movements can possibly be used as a forecasting tool. In recent years, some researchers have suggested linear or nonlinear relations between the movement rate and pore pressures on the pre-existing shear surface. It might be possible to come up with such relations, and together with established values of rate of movements, they can be used in defining different warning/alarm levels for a landslide. In this study we will investigate the relations between rainfall, piezometric levels, factor of safety and rate of movements for a reactivated landslide case history in Turkey, in addition to other landslides in the literature. This landslide is an example of a slow-moving, deep seated landslide in cohesive material with movement rates of up to 15 cm/year. The landslide movements have been observed in the past 60 years and movements have caused buildings to tilt, settle and crack significantly. The displacements have been observed to increase with every rainfall, with increase in the piezometric levels in the marl and sandstone beds forming the slope. Relations between the rise in groundwater level, factor of safety and the rate of movement in this reactivated landslide is presented for a possible use in early warning systems. Such correlations may be improved as more monitoring information becomes available.

Numerical analysis of thermo-mechanical behavior in flow forming
Günay, Enes; Fenercioglu, Tevfik Ozan; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (2021-01-01)
Flow forming is a metal forming process for cylindrical workpieces where high velocity deformation leads to radial thinning and axial extension. In the current study, a thermomechanical, dynamic and explicit finite element model of a flow forming process is developed on ABAQUS software. The model is validated through the comparison of reaction forces and geometry obtained from the experiments. Coolant convection effect is analyzed in conjunction with roller and mandrel conduction cooling to study the therma...
Effects of different bed roughnesses on the characteristics of hydraulic jumps
Velioğlu, Deniz; Tokyay, Nuray; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
In practice, baffle blocks and sills are commonly being used to stabilize the location of a hydraulic jump and shorten the length of a stilling basin. On the other hand, gravels, corrugations and rectangular prismatic roughnesses which cover the entire length of the basin or placed in a staggered manner may be an alternative. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of these roughness elements on the characteristics of hydraulic jumps such as conjugate depth, jump length and energy dissipatio...
Consistent matrices for steel framed structures with semi-rigid connections accounting for shear deformation and rotary inertia effects
ÖZEL, HALİL FIRAT; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Tasbahji, Tayseer (2017-04-15)
Estimation of vibration characteristics and thus the seismic loads acted on steel framed structures are influenced by the presence of semi-rigid connections and accurate modeling of shear deformations and rotary inertia effects. This paper presents a finite element model that takes into account all these effects in order to calculate consistent stiffness and mass matrices. The formulation of the element utilizes three fields Hu-Washizu-Barr principle, where the need for displacement shape function approxima...
Estimation of probability of failure for stepped path sliding with three joint sets
Korgan, H; Ozgenoglu, O (1999-08-28)
In jointed rock masses, sliding along a stepped path surface formed by two or more joint sets and sometimes shearing through the intact rock portion between the joints, is much likely to occur than sliding along single continuous surface. Although it has been focused on the two-joint set (i.e. one major and one cross joint set) stepped path sliding problem, there is little work on the analysis of stepped path sliding with three joint sets. In this paper, a simulation model developed for the analysis of step...
Obtaining soil-water characteristic curves by numerical modeling of drainage in particulate media
Sattari, A. Shoarian; Toker, Nabi Kartal (Elsevier BV, 2016-04-01)
Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is widely used for obtaining mechanical and hydraulic properties of unsaturated soils, such as shear strength, deformation, permeability, and flow. An innovative approach, where a meso-scale medium is generated based on particle size distribution and void ratio of non-plastic soils, for estimating the drying SWCC is developed. With application of the finite difference and Newton-Raphson (Jacobian) approximations, the air-entry pressures of pore bodies in inter-particle...
