Monitoring the changing seismic site response of a fast-moving rockslide (Brienz/Brinzauls, Switzerland)

Seismic measurements on unstable rock slopes are a complementary tool to surface displacement surveys to characterize and monitor landslides. A key parameter is seismic amplification, which tends to scale with the degree of rock mass degradation. Amplification also provides a direct measure of how the wavefield is intensified during seismic loading, eventually leading to coseismic failure. Here we...
