Quantitative Risk Assessment




               Frequency of Landslide




               ▪       Qualitative Frequency of Landslide (AGS, 2000)

                                                                  Condition             Probability


                Landsliding is imminent                            Actively              ➢    10 -1               Frequent
                                                                  unstable

                Landsliding      should     be    expected        Unstable               ➢    10 -2                Probable
                within the design lifetime


                Landsliding is possible within the               Marginally              ➢    10 -3              Occasional
                design life, but not likely                         stable

                Landsliding is highly unlikely, but not             Stable               ➢    10 -4                Remote
                impossible within the design lifetime

                Landsliding is extremely unlikely                   Stable               ➢    10 -5              Improbable
                within the design lifetime

                Landsliding will not occur within the               Stable               ➢    10 -6               Negligible
