State of the Art Paper 1 A framework for landslide risk assessment and management

This paper also discusses the advantages, disad-vantages and limitations of QRA for engineered slopes and landslides. The other seven State of the Art (SOA) papers in this Conference provide the details of the methods that can be used. The invited and submitted papers in this volume deal with spe-cific applications, case studies, research and devel-opment. ABSTRACT: This paper provides a framework for landslide risk assessment and management. It outlines the processes of hazard analysis, including characterization of the landslide (the danger); frequency analysis; the risk estimation calculation; risk evaluation against risk tolerance criteria and value judgements. The paper discusses the benefits and limitations of quantitative and qualitative risk management, and gives simplified examples.
