Abstract

The department plays active roles in the international debris flow and steep creek hazards mitigation committees such as; Association of Geohazard Professionals (AGHP), the Technical committee on slope stability (TC208); International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), and the Joint technical committee No. 1 (JTC1) on natural slopes and landslides of Federation of the International Geoengineering Societies (FedIGS). The titles of these works are as follows: "AHP Method Applied to Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in pilot sites of Tegucigalpa, 2016" by the IHCIT-UNAH and "Coupling Antecedent Rainfall and Intensity-Duration Thresholds for Landslide Occurrence in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, 2010" by the Department of Civil Engineering of the UNAH. In addition, during that period and within the framework of the Project, ICL/IPLHQ contributed to the preparation and publication of a Paper within the ISDR-ICL Landslide Interactive Teaching Tool section of the Landslide Dynamics book (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322841159 TXT-tool 450411 How to Make a Database of Landslides in Tegucigalpa Honduras). Camilab has a large landslide simulator (http://www.camilab.unical.it/web/camilab/laboratori), equipped with the most sophisticated technology and tools that allow the reproduction of real cases of slopes subject to instability, the study of physical phenomena underlying the triggering of landslides, and the measurement of the effectiveness of devices designed for the mitigation of landslide risk.
