Assessment of landslide behaviour in colluvium deposit at Doi Chang, Thailand

Abstract The paper presents the case study of the recurrent slope movement in colluvium deposits at Doi Chang, Thailand. A thorough site investigation confirmed the slope movement rate corresponding to slow creep during dry season, while in the rainy season, its velocity remarkably increased. Despit...
