Abstract
Ambient vibration techniques are increasingly used for monitoring landslides. Two types of rapid landslides are considered in this study: mudslides in clayey sediments and rockfalls of intermediate size (103–105 m3) in rigid rocks. The change of ambient vibration properties with time allows variations of internal mass characteristics to be obtained. This information is complementary to the surface motion measurements derived from air or ground based techniques and could be included in a monitoring system for landslides exhibiting a rapid mass movement.
