On a Primary Landslide Risk Assessment Method Using Pseudo-factor of Safety Without impact

Chongqing is located in southwestern China, and geological disasters occur frequently. The amount of potential landslide disasters is far greater than the number of landslides that can be managed by government funds, so the risk assessment for potential landslide disasters is critical. In practical applications, risk assessment methods based on landslide stability and loss are restricted by various factors. These methods can be simplified to semi-empirical assessment methods, which are influenced by the discrimination factors near the limit values of the determined conditions, possibly leading to sudden changes in the evaluation results and distort the conclusions. To solve this problem, we propose a full quantitative risk assessment method according to the probability of landslide damage. The mathematical probability model is used to quantitatively describe the risk assessment impacting factors, weaken the boundary influence, and improve the accuracy of landslide risk assessment. Correspondingly, the software is developed to conduct quantitative risk assessment on six landslides in Feng jie County, Chongqing, which verifies the accuracy and reliability of the full quantitative risk assessment method, and provides an important reference for judging urban landslide geological disasters.

Risk Assessment Method

Successful implementation of Health and Safety (H&S) systems requires an effective mechanism to assess risk. Existing methods focus primarily on measuring the safety aspect; the risk of an accident is determined based on the product of severity of consequence and likelihood of the incident arising. The health component, i.e., chronic harm, is more difficult to assess. Partially, this is due to both consequences and the likelihood of health issues, which may be indeterminate. There is a need to develop a quantitative risk measurement for H&S risk management and with better representation for chronic health issues. The present paper has approached this from a different direction, by adopting a public health perspective of quality of life. We have then changed the risk assessment process to accommodate this. This was then applied to a case study. The case study showed that merely including the chronic harm scales appeared to be sufficient to elicit a more detailed consideration of hazards for chronic harm. This suggests that people are not insensitive to chronic harm hazards, but benefit from having a framework in which to communicate them. A method has been devised to harmonize safety and harm risk assessments. The result was a comprehensive risk assessment method with consideration of safety accidents and chronic health issues. This has the potential to benefit industry by making chronic harm more visible and hence more preventable.
