Performance-Based, Seismically-induced Landslide Hazard Mapping of West Oregon. Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering

Seismically-induced landslides can be detrimental to urban communities, often resulting in significant damage and repair costs, blockage of lifeline connection routes and utilities, environmental impacts, and potential for loss of life. Consistent, reliable hazard maps can assist agencies to efficiently allocate limited resources to prepare for these events. This paper presents methodology for evaluating and mapping seismically-induced landslide hazards across a large area utilizing performance-based design strategies.
