Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Slope Assessment Systems for Predicting Landslides of Cut Slopes in Granitic and Meta-sediment FormationsSuhaimi Jamaludin, Bujang B.K. Huat, Husaini OmarIn Malaysia, slope assessment systems (SAS) are widely used in assessing the instability of slope or the probability of occurrence and the likely severity of landslides. These SAS can be derived based on either one particular approach or combination of several approaches of landslide assessments and prediction. This study overviews four slope assessment systems (SAS) developed in Malaysia for predicting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Slope Assessment System in Predicting Landslides along Roads Underlain by Granitic FormationBujang B.K. Huat, S. JamaludinA slope assessment is to estimate the probability of occurrence and likely severity of landslides in a given area. This study evaluates two existing Slope Assessment Systems (SAS) for predicting landslide at the micro level of assessment developed by the Public Works Department of Malaysia, namely the Slope Information Management System (SIMS) and the Slope Management and Risk Tracking System … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Study on Suction-rainfall Response of a Cut Slope in Unsaturated Residual Soil Using a Field Rain SimulatorBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj. Ali, S. MariappanThis research describes the design and construction of an artificial rain simulator system and the results obtained with regards to suction-rainfall response of a cut slope in unsaturated residual soil of weathered sandstone of various weathering grades. From the field measurements, the shallow tensiometers are found to record an immediate initial increase in matric suction within the first 20 min … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImpact of the Drainage Slope Experimental Study on the Manning Roughness CoefficientKaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Hossein Gholami, Shahide Dehghan, Morteza SoltaniIt was Determined the current persistence components were significant in hydraulic designs of highland zone with sharp slopes. It was defined to examine the consequence of gradient, rapidity, depth and dimension of coarseness on the manning coarseness factor in this superficial river area. This is an investigational education about manning coarseness defined for highland zones protected by elements in three … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2021 · 6,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePerformance Assessment of Solar Chimneys: Part 2 – Impacts of Slenderness Value and Collector Slope on Power OutputErdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceIn the previous part, impacts of chimney height thus pressure difference on the power output of solar chimneys have been numerically evaluated. Within the scope of this research, slenderness and slope of collector are analysed in terms of their potential influence on average velocity of air at the chimney inlet. The analyses are based on a commercial and reliable CFD … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 9 Jul 2019 · 6,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Dual-Slope Integration Based Analog-to-Digital ConvertorHasan KradProblem statement: With the advent of the advanced technology and the need for more advanced equipment, the current progress and development of electronic instruments stimulate more interest and efforts for more innovative ideas and better designs. Many real world physical values, such as sounds, temperature, pressure and humidity, can be measured as analog or continuous signals. However, to process these … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,796 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA New Method to Track Line Segment in Sequence of Images Using Only its SlopeS. Ait Kaci Azzou, S. LarabiIn this paper, we present a novel approach to track a line segment in the sequence of images obtained by camera in motion. We use the slope of segment as feature to track. The proposed method is based only on the formalism of the slope of the segment. We use the definition of the projection of points and the relation … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 6,668 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRock Slopes Failure Susceptibility Analysis: From Remote Sensing Measurements to Geographic Information System Raster ModulesFilipello Andrea, Giuliani Andrea, Mandrone GiuseppeProblem statement: Two important step can be recognised in the rockfall analysis: the potential failure detection and the run out simulation. Analyzing the stability of rock slopes, most important kinematisms are planar or wedge slidings and topplings. The aim of this study was to coupling a deterministic approach for landslide initiation (potential rockfall source areas) with a runout analysis by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMapping of Temperature Trend Slope in Iran′s Zayanderud River Basin: A Comparison of Interpolation MethodsAli Zahraei, Saeid Eslamian, Ali Saeidi Rizi et al.The spatial distribution of daily, nightly and mean temperature trend in Iran′s Zayanderud river basin was carried out in this study by applying three approaches of interpolation including Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and integration of these two methods (IDW+MLR). In this paper, t-test and statistical measures including Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 26 Jun 2019 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Monitoring System for Mitigation Planning: The Case of "Bagnaschino" Landslide in Northern ItalyGiuliani Andrea, Bonetto Sabrina, Castagna Sara et al.Problem statement: The Bagnaschino landslide occurred in November 1994 that caused extensive floods and many landslides all over northern Italy. In southern Piedmont, the Casotto River (Cuneo Province) damaged many kilometers of provincial road and the river was dammed by this landslide. The landslide involves an area of about 100 thousands m3, but a good knowledge of the landslide is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,191 accessesView PDFCite
