Abstract

Activation of seismic activity in Vrancha area and in the Black Sea region as well as on the Planet as a whole lead to rising of the level of seismic hazard all over the territory of Ukraine and eventually to the growth of the corresponding landslide provoking factor. These events resulted in considerable activation of landsliding and in increasing of landslide hazard in earthquake-prone areas of Ukraine (Chernivetska and Odesska Oblasts/regions and Autonomous Republic of Crimea). Totally about 23 000 landslides were identified in the territory of Ukraine. Experimental and analytical studies of slumps in the Central Livadia landslide system (natural seismic impacts) were carried out with the aid of the ZSUV monitoring system. Theoretical and methodological principles for monitoring and experimental researches of landslides were developed. A provision was made for the use of an automated system of collection and accumulation of initial statistical information for analysis of fast changing factors. Measured were: ground water levels in boreholes determined by geologists, angles of slope of marked elements (determined by experts) inside the landslide slope being studied (angular deformations of the measuring boreholes drilled in the slope); other parameters characterizing the stress-deformed state and lithodynamics of the area being studied.
