 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The scientific goal of HYDRODRIL is to investigate and evaluate the risk and nature of hydrologically-driven landslides, therefore making a contribution to a better understanding of the relationship between small-scale deformations in soil/rock structures, the failure mechanisms induced by these deformations and the following large-scale dynamic behavior, as well as a detailed risk assessment programme. Major entities of HYDRODRIL will be the extensive monitoring Xintan-landslide in the Three-Gorges region (Hubei province, China), correspondent experiments on a small-scale model in centrifuge tests and FEM and multiscale modeling approach of landslides in numerical simulations. The broad-based research group, consisting of experts in their respective fields, will cover geotechnical, geological, geophysical and geographical issues.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

A new network of multidisciplinary researchers is helping to prevent disasters by advancing landslide forecasting.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Landslides events can be predicted by understanding how the interactions between small-scale geology and geography produce large-scale behaviour. To prevent these disasters, the EU needs a new generation of multidisciplinary researchers to conduct advanced computational and physical landslide modelling.

The EU-funded 'Integrated risk assessment of hydrologically-driven landslides' (HYDRODRIL) project is a multidisciplinary exchange programme of experts in geotechnical, geological, geophysical and geographical issues. It aims to investigate the nature and risk of hydrologically driven landslides.

So far, the HYDRODRIL project has established a network of researchers in Asia, Central America and the European Union. Researcher exchanges have taken place through the initial meeting, a symposium and workshops held in partner countries.

In addition, the project will extensively monitor the Xintan landslide in the Three Gorges region in China. They will conduct corresponding experiments on a small-scale model combined with multi-scale mathematical simulations.

This work is expected to assist in understanding and forecasting the geological mechanisms that trigger landslides. It could also help establish coherent EU-wide strategies for disaster prevention and mitigation.
