1 Statistical Seismic Landslide Hazard Analysis: an Example from Taiwan Chyi-Tyi Lee Graduate Institute of Applied Geology, National Central University, Taiwan Seismology Forum 27: Natural Hazards and Surface Processes, Taipei, 7 March 27

2 INTRODUCTION There are two different approaches to perform seismic landslide hazard analysis: Deterministic approach by using Newmark displacement method (Jibson et al., 2). Statistical approach via landslide susceptibility analysis (Lee, 24). Both need an prior analysis for intensity parameters as input for landslide hazard analysis. The weakness of deterministic approach is the critical acceleration at each study point is vary and is difficult to achieve, because failure depth, material strength, and groundwater data are not feasible to investigate in a large region. 2

3 What is landslide hazard analysis? Landslide hazard analysis analyzes the probability of landslide occurrence in a given region and a given time period. Steps in Natural Hazard Assessment Inventory Construction Susceptibility Analysis Hazard Analysis Risk Analysis Construction of time series inventory of hazard Dividing a region into successive classes representing different grades of slope instability Calculation of the probability of a hazard level in a given region and a given time period Calculation of the lost of life or property in a given region and a given time period. 3

4 Deterministic approach by Newmark displacement method Sliding block Newmark Displacement a c ( FS ) g sin a c : critical acceleration, FS : factor of safety, α : slope angle. 4

5 Statistical approach via landslide susceptibility analysis The basis of statistical approach is an event-based landslide susceptibility analysis which divides a region into successive classes representing different grades of slope instability. Comparing the training data with the susceptibility model, we can build a probability of failure curve and use this curve to complete a probability of failure map for a region. Because the susceptibility model is event-based, scenario earthquake intensity can be input into the model to find a susceptibility index at a grid-point, and then, this index can be used to find a probability of failure at the grid-point..8 Probability of Failure y.28x ( x) Landslide Suscepitility Index Probability of failure curve is used to transfer susceptibility index into landslide probability.

7 Basis for Analysis of Landslide Susceptibility Definition of flat area: flat area and gentle slopes where slope gradient is less than % and area is greater than hectare are regarded as stable area and is not taken in the analysis. Selection of training area: an training area must be selected to build a susceptibility model for further analysis. The training area is ideally a homogenous area in topography, geology, climate, and is not far from the 25 gal isoseismal of the training event. Only shallow landslides (including fall type) were used in the analysis; deep-seated landslides were not included. 7

Then the Arial intensity was topographically corrected by an empirical formula proposed by Lee et al. (28). The corrected Arial intensity (right) is then applied to the Chi-Chi seismic landslide hazard model, and then a 475-year seismic landslide hazard map for whole Taiwan is constructed. 28

32 SUMMARY We used a multivariate statistical approach with logistic regression to analyze the Chi-Chi earthquake-induced landslides and their controlling factors, and a susceptibility model is built. The susceptibility model was then used to build a hazard model through using 475-year return period earthquake intensity and a probability of failure curve to transfer the susceptibility values to spatial probabilities. Results of the analysis are good, provided that careful validation at a neighboring region was made. We conclude that this statistical approach of seismic landslide hazard analysis is feasible, and that the hazard model can be used to predict landslides after a major earthquake and to be used to produce a seismic landslide hazard map of a wide region. 32

33 SUMMARY The Arias intensity is found to be the most effective factor to interpret landslide distribution among different intensity measures, like peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity, closest distance to fault line, closest distance to fault plane etc. It is also the most effective factor among different causative factors, like slope gradient, terrain roughness, surface curvature, and slope height, and thus improves the quality of the model, and makes the model temporally significant. The statistical approach of seismic landslide hazard has an advantage over deterministic methods in that it does not require failure depth, material strength, or groundwater data, and may have a better prediction rate. However, a deterministic model can be used anywhere once the parameters required by the model are available. The statistical approach, by contrast, may be applicable only to the vicinity of the study region where the model was trained, and may be limited within or not too far from the earthquake intensity range they were trained. 33

34 SUMMARY This seismic landslide hazard map is for the evaluation of shallow landslides and rock falls only. Deep-seated landslides are most of structural controlled and need specific study site by site, these are not included in the present hazard map. They may be presented in a separated sheet of the hazard map or included in the same sheet with different symbol. A nationwide rain-induced landslide hazard map has also been completed in 23 (Lee and Fei, 25). Deep seated landslides, and debris hazard maps are also completed. These nationwide landslide hazard maps both for earthquake and rainfall are in to 5 thousand scale. Further study will also include the estimation of location, size, volume, and recurrence of landslides. 34

36 Sediment Estimation (/3) From probability of landslide occurrence map, we may estimate shallow landslide area A sl as follow, A ap sl ls i i where, P ls i is probability of failure at cell i, a is area of a cell; it is m2 in this study. From spatial landslide probability map of Chi-Chi earthquake event, we can estimate landslide area to be,898,848m2, Actual landslide from the inventory is 2,977 landslides with a total area of 9,572,4m2. The difference indicates that mapping of the landslide inventory may have missed some landslides in shadows of the SPOT images. Furthermore, missing of small-scale landslides and deleting of repeated landslides in the event-based landslide inventory may also reduce the total area of landslide as compared to the prediction ones. 36

37 Sediment Estimation (2/3) We further adopted a soil-thickness prediction model from Chung (28) as follow, where, h is soil thickness (m), S is slope ( ). Inserting slope data into above equation, we can get soil thickness at each grid-cell in the study area and further estimate landslide volume V sl as follow, h ln S V (494.29P 9.39P ln S ) sl lsi lsi i i Using the above equation, we could estimate shallow landslide volume induced by Chi-Chi earthquake to be 6,256,4 m 3. Actual landslide volume using landslide area from inventory is 44,757,92 m3. Again, the difference is because of we have missed small-scale landslides, landslides in shadows and repeating landslides. 37

38 Sediment Estimation (3/3) To this step, we can successfully predict landslide location, area and volume in a drainage basin or catchment area using GIS. However, the amount of sediment yield in a catchment still requires estimation of soil erosion on the slope and sediment transportation in the stream. A distributed hydrological and sediment transport modeling should be further carried out so that sediment problem like that in the Shihmen Reservoir catchment area could be interpreted. GIS is a useful tool for managing and processing the model factors and also good for construction of a hazard map and application in regional planning, hazard mitigation, and sediments yield estimation. 38
