Abstract. Rainfall is one of the most important factors controlling landslide deformation and failure. State-of-art rainfall data collection is a common practice in modern landslide research world-wide. Nevertheless, in spite of the availability of high-accuracy rainfall data, it is not a trivial process to diligently incorporate rainfall data in predicting landslide stability due to large quantity, tremendous variety, and wealth multiplicity of rainfall data. Up to date, most of the pre-process procedure of rainfall data only use mean value, maxima and minima to characterize the rainfall feature. This practice significantly overlooks many important and intrinsic features contained in the rainfall data. In this paper, we employ cluster analysis (CA)-based feature analysis to rainfall data for rainfall feature extraction. This method effectively extracts the most significant features of a rainfall sequence and greatly reduced rainfall data quantities. Meanwhile it also improves rainfall data availability. For showing the efficiency of using the CA characterized rainfall data input, we present three schemes to input rainfall data in back propagation (BP) neural network to forecast landslide displacement. These three schemes are: the original daily rainfall, monthly rainfall, and CA extracted rainfall features. Based on the examination of the root mean square error (RMSE) of the landslide displacement prediction, it is clear that using the CA extracted rainfall features input significantly improve the ability of accurate landslide prediction.

Landslide Displacement Prediction

Accurate landslide displacement prediction has great practical significance for mitigating geohazards. Traditional deterministic forecasting methods can provide only a single point value and cannot give the degree of uncertainty associated with the forecast, thereby failing to provide information on predictive confidence. This study applied interval prediction for landslide displacement. Taking the Tanjiahe landslide of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area as an example and considering the impact of seasonal variations in reservoir level and rainfall, the uncertainties associated with landslide displacement prediction were quantified into prediction intervals (PIs) by a bootstrapped least-square support vector machine (LSSVM) method (B-LSSVM). The proposed method consists of three steps: First, the LSSVM and bootstrapping were combined to estimate the true regression means of landslide displacement and the variance with respect to model misspecification uncertainties. Second, a new LSSVM model optimized by a genetic algorithm (GA) was implemented to estimate the noise variance. Finally, the point prediction was derived from the regression means, and the PIs were constructed by combining the regression mean, the model variance, and the noise variance. We applied the proposed method to predict the displacement of four GPS monitoring points of the Tanjiahe landslide, and we comprehensively compared the prediction accuracy and the quality of the constructed PIs with benchmark methods. A simulation and performance comparison showed that the proposed method is a promising technique for providing accurate and reliable prediction results for landslide displacement.

Predicting landslide displacement is of great significance in geotechnical engineering. An iteration-based combined prediction method was proposed for predicting the landslide displacement in this paper. Firstly, the landslide displacement was predicted by 10 latest multivariable grey models, and then the final landslide displacement prediction value was obtained through an iteration-based combined strategy. Concurrently, the reliability of the quadratic programming-based combined prediction method (QPCPM) and the iteration-based combined prediction method (ICPM) was rigorously proved in this paper. In addition, the inapplicability conditions of the optimal weight-based combined prediction method (OWCPM) were pointed out. ICPM could be regarded as a simplified version of QPCPM. The Bazimen and Baishuihe landslides in the Three Gorges Reservoir area of China were used as numerical examples to elaborate the performance of ICPM. This paper also demonstrated the reliability of ICPM by considering the effects of rainfall and reservoir water level on landslide displacement. Overall, ICPM features in simple and easy calculation and has rosy engineering application prospects.

Abstract Landslide prediction is important for mitigating geohazards but is very challenging. The fluctuation of reservoir water level and rainfall are the main external triggering factors controlling the deformation of riverine landslides. In this paper, the Baishuihe landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area, which has a typical “step-like” behavior, is taken as the study case, and an integrated approach for landslide displacement prediction combining data mining and Variational Mode Decomposition, Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm, Back Propagation Neural Network (VMD-FOA-BPNN) is proposed. Nine triggering factors including the reservoir level and rainfall are extracted. First, triggering factors and monthly velocity of the landslide are clustered into several categories by Two-step Clustering (TSC). Then, Apriori algorithm is used to mine the association rules between triggering factors and monthly velocity, and comprehensive contribution of each factor is calculated based on the data mining results. Next, the displacement of monitoring point ZG93 and triggering factors are decomposed by VMD based on the time series analysis of the landslide. Last, the trend term displacement is trained and predicted by the subsection functions, and FOA-BPNN models are used to train and predict the periodic and random term. The prediction results show that, compared with the current popular prediction models, the proposed model can effectively improve the prediction accuracy, which has high practicability and application value in the study of landslide displacement prediction.

Abstract. Rainfall erosivity is the power of rainfall to cause soil erosion by water. The rainfall erosivity index for a rainfall event, EI30, is calculated from the total kinetic energy and maximum 30 min intensity of individual events. However, these data are often unavailable in many areas of the world. The purpose of this study was to develop models that relate more commonly available rainfall data resolutions, such as daily or monthly totals, to rainfall erosivity. Eleven stations with one-minute temporal resolution rainfall data collected from 1961 through 2000 in the eastern water-erosion areas of China were used to develop and calibrate 21 models. Seven independent stations, also with one-minute data, were utilized to validate those models, together with 20 previously published equations. Results showed that models in this study performed better or similar to models from previous research to estimate rainfall erosivity for these data. Prediction capabilities, as determined using symmetric mean absolute percentage errors and Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficients, were demonstrated for the 41 models including those for estimating erosivity at event, daily, monthly, yearly, average monthly and average annual time scales. Prediction capabilities were generally better using higher resolution rainfall data as inputs. For example, models with rainfall amount and maximum 60 min rainfall amount as inputs performed better than models with rainfall amount and maximum daily rainfall amount, which performed better than those with only rainfall amount. Recommendations are made for choosing the appropriate estimation equation, which depend on objectives and data availability.

Evolution Trend

Abstract In addition to the inherent evolution trend, landslide displacement contains strong fluctuation and randomness, the omni-directional landslide displacement prediction is more scientific than single point prediction or interval prediction. In this work, a newly hybrid approach composed of double exponential smoothing (DES), variational mode decomposition (VMD), long short-term memory network (LSTM) and gaussian process regression (GPR), was proposed for point, interval and probabilistic prediction of landslide displacement. The proposed model includes two parts: (i) predicting the inherent evolution trend of landslide displacement by DES-VMD-LSTM; (ii) evaluating the uncertainty in the first prediction based on the GPR model. In the first part, DES is used to predict the trend displacement, VMD is used to extract the periodic and stochastic displacement from the residual displacement, and then LSTM is used to predict them. The triggering factors of periodic and stochastic displacement are screened by maximum information coefficient (MIC), and the screened factors are decomposed into low- and high-frequency components by VMD, to predict periodic and stochastic displacement respectively. The first cumulative displacement prediction results are achieved by adding the predicted trend, periodic and stochastic displacement. By setting the first predicted displacement as input and actual displacement as expected output, the point, interval and probability prediction of displacement are realized in GPR model. The plausibility of this method was validated firstly with the data from Bazimen (BZM) and Baishuihe (BSH) landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. This model has potential capacity to realize deterministic prediction of displacement and exhibit uncertainty contained in displacement. A comparing study shows that this method has a high performance at point, interval and probability prediction of displacement.

Landslide Displacement Prediction

Abstract Landslide displacement prediction is essential to establish the early warning system (EWS). According to the dynamic characteristics of landslide evolution and the shortcomings of the traditional static prediction model, a dynamic prediction model of landslide displacement based on long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks was proposed. Meanwhile, the Variational modal decomposition (VMD) theory was used to decompose the cumulative displacement and triggering factors, which not only give clear physical meaning to each displacement subsequence, but also closely connect the rock and soil conditions with the influence of external factors. Besides, the maximum information coefficient (MIC) was used to sort the redundant features. The LSTM is a dynamic model that can remember historical information and apply it to the current output. The hyperparameters of the LSTM model was optimized by the Grey wolf optimizer (GWO), and the dynamic one-step prediction was carried out for each displacement. All the predicted values were superimposed to complete the displacement prediction based on the time series model. The Tangjiao landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area (TGRA), China, was taken as a case study. The displacement data of monitoring sites GPS06 had step-like characteristics. Measured data from March 2007 to December 2016 were selected for analysis. The results indicate that the root mean square error (RMSE) of the test set and validation set are 23.240 mm and 64.714 mm, respectively, and the coefficient of determination (R2) are 0.997 and 0.971, respectively. This model provides a new idea and exploration for the displacement prediction of step-like characteristics landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area.
