Landslide. Granting up, up to the limit set out in the Particular Conditions, the damages caused to the insured goods as consequence of geological phenomena of landslides, downfalls, and land subsidence.
Landslide. Landslides and slope instability are generally caused by earthquakes, weak materials, stream and coastal erosion, and heavy rainfall. The rate of landsliding is affected by the type and extent of vegetation, the slope angle, the degree of water saturation, the strength of the rocks, and the mass and thickness of the deposit. Certain human activities also tend to make earth materials less stable and increase the chance of ground failure. Activities contributing to instability include extensive irrigation, poor drainage or ground-water withdrawal, removal of stabilizing vegetation and over-steepening of slopes by undercutting them or overloading them with artificial fill. The causes of failure, which normally produce landslides and differential settlement, are augmented during earthquakes. As a result of these potential risks, construction on slopes steeper than about 15 percent typically requires special grading, special foundation design, or site modification to mitigate slope ground conditions and reduce the potential for slope instability. Threats to structures would be greatest in areas that are close to natural channels or are situated on potentially unstable slopes. The Public Record depicts “landslide deposits larger than 200 feet” as well as “landslide deposits larger than 200 feet (identification uncertain)”. According to the Safety Element, site- specific geologic hazard assessments, conducted by a licensed geologist, shall be completed prior to development approval in areas with landslide hazards as indicated in the Public Record.
Landslide. Those areas identified as subject to mass movements due to their geologic, topographic, and/or hydrologic factors. Areas subject to land sliding are the following:
Landslide. A landslide is a relatively rapid outward and downward movement of a mass of rock or soil on a slope, due to the force of gravity. The stability of a slope can be reduced by removing ground at the base of the slope, increasing the water content of the materials forming the slope or by placing material on the slope, especially at the top. Property damage by landslide can occur through the removal of supporting ground from under the property or by the movement of material onto the property. Large landslides in coastal areas can cause tsunami. The assessment of landslide hazard refers to the stability of the present land surface, including existing anthropogenically-modified slopes as expressed in local topographic maps or digital terrain models. It does not encompass a consideration of the stability of new excavations. Land prone to landslide will normally remain stable unless the topography is altered by erosion or excavation, or the land is loaded, or pore water pressure increases. Landslide might also be initiated by seismic shock, frost action, or change in atmospheric pressure. This hazard is significant in surface deposits but may extend to more than 10m depth. The common consequences are damage to properties, including transportation routes and other kinds of infrastructure, and underground services. Some landslides can be stabilised by engineering. Soil Creep: Soil creep is a very slow movement of soil and rock particles down slope and is a result of expansion and contraction of the soil through cycles of freezing and thawing or wetting and drying. Ground Dissolution: Some rocks and minerals are soluble in water and can be progressively removed by the flow of water through the ground. This process tends to create cavities, potentially leading to the collapse of overlying materials and possibly subsidence at the surface. The common types of soluble rocks and minerals are limestones, gypsum and halite. Cavities can become unstable following flooding, including flooding caused by broken service pipes. Changes in the nature of surface runoff, excavating or loading the ground, groundwater abstraction, and inappropriate installation of soakaways can also trigger subsidence in otherwise stable areas. Collapsible Ground: Collapsible ground comprises materials with large spaces between solid particles. They can collapse when they become saturated by water and a building (or other structure) places too great a load on it. If the material below a building colla...
