1 J-Rapid Final Workshop 21 June, 2016, Kathmandu Inventory mapping of landslides induced by the Gorkha earthquake 2015 and a proposal for hazard mapping of future landslides for making a plan of better reconstruction "Impact on infrastructure by Gorkha earthquake 2015 induced landslides" Masahiro CHIGIRA Masahiro CHIGIRA Professor, Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Professor, Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University Kyoto University Vishnu DANGOL Vishnu DANGOL Professor, Department of Geology, Professor, Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University Tribhuvan University
2 Objective 1. to make an inventory mapping on landslides, cracks, and landslide dams induced by the Nepal earthquake and to investigate their formative mechanisms 2. to detect displaced areas of slope surfaces, of which future susceptibility to landslides would be evaluated on the basis of geology, geomorphology, and groundwater conditions. 3. propose a methodology of hazard mapping for earthquake-induced landslides in Nepal.

9 Cumulative landslide frequency and the landslide size Data added to Chigira et al. (2010, Geomorphology)
10 What type of landslides occurred?
11 Shallow disrupted landslides in most cases No gigantic landslides like those induced by the 2009 Wenchuan earthquake Bhote Koshi catchment
12 Rockfall 400m fall from a slope break Dadakateri From a river terrace (Kodari)
13 Cracks Mostly have not developed after the quake Cracks on a sharp ridge in Barpak Cracks on debris slopes (Bhote Koshi catchment)
14 Large landslides, which had been continually moving were not reactivated. Dahlan landslide Mica schist
15 Where did they occur?
16 Inner valleys (valley in valley) Inner valley
17 Inner valley
18 Landslides
19 Inner valley development Loosening of the valley wall Rapid River incision River Incision Valley widening Loosened rock masses have been removed by the shaking
20 Failure within a landslide body Trishuli River
21 Steep infacing-slopes Slate, Bhote Koshi catchment
22 hat Terrace scarps
23 Along a road Before the EQ
24 Landslides & Geology Gneiss (Bhote Koshi catchment) Schist Malekhu Limestone Benighat Slate Roban phyllite Dhading Dolomite 4 km Kuncha F. phyllite Fagfog Quartzite Pinkish phyllite
25 Number of landslides by each geological zone Occupancy ratio of landslides by each geological zone Landslides are dominating in areas of gneiss, slate, dolomite, quartzite Rare in areas of schist, phyllite Geology & Landslides

27 Subsequent rainfalls enlarged some landslide scars
28 Large landslide bodies were not reactivated (Trishuli River) The 2015 Earthquakeinduced slope failure newly formed scar enlargement of a pre-existing scar Pre-existing slope failure not enlarged by the earthquake Deep-seated landslide
29 InSAR image to detect small displacements on the order of cm Second (after the EQ) observation Crustal deformation First (before the EQ) observation In the case of LoS shortened, Blue -> Yellow -> Red: The ground was uplifted or close to the satellite 29
30 Comparing before and after the earethquake Mixture of noise and crustal displacement, But the red circle shows local surface displacement. Blue->Red->Yellow, away from the satellite In the red circle
31 Bansaghu Talus slope New cracks but no development after the quake Transient adjustment of rock fragments Groundwater level was shallow but the slope was not seriously destabilized.
32 After the quake No change was found in the red circle InSAR is very helpful to monitor displacements after an earthquake
33 Quantitative seismic response analysis with FEM. Input waveform (near the base camp of Mt. Everest, Ev-K2-CNR Association) 7.0km 5.8km Discretized finite element meshes for the analytical area along the Trisuli River.
34 Calculated maximum value of horizontal acceleration at ground surface. Calculated maximum value of shear stress in surficial layer. Landslides occurred on slopes with amplified acceleration and/or mobilized shear stress

37 Antecedent rainfall amounts Noto Hanto Chuetsu-oki Mid-Niigata 150 Gorkha earthquake 10 days before the quake
38 Proposal of the methodology for the Hazard mapping of earthquake-induced landslides on the basis of Slope angles Inner valleys, infacing slopes, and terrace edges and Geology
39 Mapped landslides 6527 new landslides 558 enlarged landeslides
40 Slope angles
41 Slope (35 45deg)
42 Slope (35 45deg)+Inner Valley
43 Slope (35 45deg)+Inner Valley+Carbonate
44 Slope (35 45deg)+Inner Valley+Carbonate +Landslides Other carbonates, sandstone, gneiss, slate, terraces, infacing slopes are not shown
45 Conclusions Landslides induced by the 2015 Gorkha earthquake were mostly shallow disrupted landslides. Landslide dams hardly caused serious threats Landslides occurred mostly on steep slopes in inner valleys, on geologically controlled steep slopes like infacing slopes, and on terrace edges Earthquake shaking was amplified on convex slope breaks on steep slopes Most susceptible rocks to landslide were carbonate, sandstone, gneiss and slate, while phyllite may be not Some earthquake-induced landslides were enlarged by subsequent rainfalls Earthquake-induced cracks have not always developed by subsequent rainfalls Deep-seated large landslide bodies were hardly reactivated The effects of rainfalls before the earthquake were not clearly identified, but landslides would be much more when the earthquake occurred during a rainy season We propose hazard mapping of earthquake-induced landslides on the basis of topographic features and geology

61 Conclusions The Gorkha earthquake 2015 not only resulted in the destruction of buildings and infrastructures, but also caused landslides that damaged the infrastructures, mainly road and hydropower projects as well as residential and school buildings. Burial of the entire Langtang village, blocking of Kaligandaki River, damages to hydropower projects and damages to Araniko and Rasuwagadhi Highways connecting to China were the major noticeable events due to the earthquake induced landslide. In addition, numerous stretches of the feeder roads and trails were also damaged.
