Classification of the Structural Landslides for the Natural Hazard Assessment

Geological analysis of the landslide processes in regions with complex heterogeneous geological structure confirmed the priority nature of occurrence of structural landslides in rheologically different geological environments. The new classification of structural landslides with the decisive influence of destructive zones has been developed. This classification is the basis for constructing geological, physical and mathematical models of landslide slopes, and subsequent modeling of the landslide hazard based on the determination of the stress-strain state of slopes. A numerical-analytical algorithm for solving the problem in the mathematical formulation, which is based on a modified iterative boundary element method, is developed. This technic is used for the landslide hazard assessment in different areas.
