Abstract

There has been a significant progress in landslide mitigation strategies in recent years. Recent advancement in physical or experimental and numerical modelling, testing methods to evaluate soil properties, and computing capabilities for slope and deformation analyses as well as landslide risk assessment lead the global scientists to prepare in advance for landslide hazard mitigation. The papers collected in this volume, authored by global leaders in scientific research pertinent to landslide hazard mitigation, provide testament of the progress we made recently on landslide hazard mitigation, specifically on recent development in testing, modelling and risk assessment methods.
