Landslide Ranking System for a 41km Long Railway Across ‘Serra Do Mar’, Brazil
Landslides are a major cause for losses and damages in railways and roadways which cross hilly regions. Some landslides may cause traffic interruption for several days, leading to severe prejudice to cargo flow in busy transportation systems, until an emergency correction can be built. Landslide studies are essential in such areas to identify potentially unstable sections, evaluate failure possibility and the consequent impact on infrastructure, and prioritize critical sections for implementing failure prevention and correction measures. This work presents a study to rank landslide prone slopes of a 41km long railway which crosses the Serra do Mar, a mountain range located in the southeastern region of Brazil. This railway was built in the late 1920’s and is still vital to transport commodities from the Brazilian countryside to the major port in Brazil, located in the city of Santos. The work presents the geological-geotechnical aspects related to the railway construction and the detailed framework to conduct the analysis and ranking
