Satellite Conference on Transition
from Slide
to Flow
Organizers: Kyoji Sassa (Kyoto University, Japan), Mihail Popescu (Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, USA/ University of Civil Engineering, Bucharest, Romania), Luciano Picarelli (Second University of Napoli, Italy)
Flow of landslide masses involving rapid and long distance movements has caused catastrophic damages particularly in urban and urbanization areas near mountain slopes. The understanding of transition processes from slide to flow has a great significance for landslide risk assessment and disaster mitigation.
This Satellite Conference will be focusing on transition from slide to flow - its mechanisms and remedial options. Terzaghi has written that "if a slope has started to move, the means for stopping movement must be adapted to the processes which started the slide". The slope movements representing a transition from slide to flow are so varied in type and size, and always, so dependent upon special local circumstances, that for a given problem there is more than one method of prevention or correction that can be successfully applied. The success of each measure depends, to a large extent, on the degree to which the specific soil and groundwater conditions are correctly recognized in investigation and applied to design . These and other related problems will be presented by keynote lecturers and selected paper authors and discussed during a panel session.
The Satellite Conference on Transition from Slide to Flow is intended primarily for research and practicing geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists and geomorphologists who are interested in landslide related geohazards.
Keynote lecturers are Kyoji Sassa (Japan), Luciano Picarell (Italy) and Oldrich Hungr (Canada) for Mechanisms and Mihail Popescu (USA/Romania), Edward Bromhead (UK) and Hiroyuki Nakamura (Japan).
Chairpersons are Jacques Locat (Canada) for Panel Discussion and Paolo Canuti (Italy) for keynote lectures.
The second day (26 August 2001) will visit the cultural heritage Sumela Monastary in Trabzon.
Registration fee (175 USD) and other information should be referred in pp.12-13 and pp. 22-23 of Bulletin No.2 of XVth ICSMGE. Please register the participation in the Satellite Conference to:

ISSMGE
Field Workshop on Landslides and Natural/Cultural
Heritages
in Turkey, 23-24 August 2001
Cosponsored by IGCP-425 (Landslide Hazard Assessment and Cultural Heritage)
Organizers: Mustafa Aytekin (Turkey), and Kyoji Sassa (Japan) and Mihail Popescu (USA/Romania)
The main field of study in this ATC-9 is directly related to the selected cultural and natural heritage sites of universal value in Asian countries. However the final results will be equally applicable for landslide hazard mitigation over the world where the high potential for disasters to mankind and their constructions is due to growing population and rapid regional development.
Istanbul to Trabzon on 22 August by Flight TK550 (16:50-18:35) (Stay in Trabzon)
23 August: Visit to an old landslide and a lake created by the landslide which is located about 40 km from the Trabzon at the coast of Black sea. (Stay in Hidernebi)
24 August: Return to Trabzon until noon. A half-day workshop will be held in the afternoon
TOPICS OF WORKSHOP
1) Landslides at natural-cultural heritages
2) Monitoring techniques of landslides
Prof. Akin Onalp (Turkey) will have a talk on Nature of Black Sea soils and the landslide processes in the workshop.
REGISTRATION FEE: 275 USD (Including two overnights, transportation, food, and CD-R containing papers for both of the Field Workshop and the Satellite Conference)
during 23-26 August 2001
