Abstract: | An extended probabilistic model that is a modification of the Chen et al. (2007,) model for evaluating the failure probability
of an inclined soil layer with an infinite length was developed in the present paper, and then applied to evaluate the occurrence
probability of landslide-related debris flow in Tungmen gully located in the eastern Taiwan, which occurred a devastating
debris flow in 1990. The statistical properties of hydrogeological parameters were collected and summarized, and then used
to evaluate the landslide-related debris-flow probabilities at various relative water depths for Tungmen gully by using the
probabilistic model. Under the assumption that the soil is saturated, the soil’s cohesion is negligible and the specific gravity
of the solid particles of soils is a constant, a simplified probabilistic critical slope equation for the stability of an
infinite slope of soils was also developed, and used to estimate the occurrence probability of debris flow. The result shows
that probabilistic landslide analysis for an infinite slope could provide a suitable approximation for the risk analysis of
debris flow mobilization at a given gully. |
