The Contribution of Electrical Resistivity Measurements to the Analysis of Landslide Events

B010 THE CONTRIBUTION OF ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY MEASUREMENTS TO THE ANALYSIS OF LANDSLIDE EVENTS Abstract 1 In order to gain insight into the study of natural avalanches dynamics we illustrate a statistical model based on a dissipative dynamical variable associated to a position dependent factor of safety field. This model as experimentally demonstrated is able to reproduce the complex structure of landslide events such as power-law distributions. In this paper we introduce an explicit dependence of the safety factor on the electrical resistivity to simulate landslide events in pyroclastic soils. An application of the model to data acquired in a test
