skredbenägenhet
Skredbenägenhet refers to the susceptibility of a slope or embankment to landslides or avalanches, particularly in regions with loose, unconsolidated soil or snow. The term is commonly used in Swedish and Norwegian geology and civil engineering to describe how prone an area is to mass movements triggered by factors such as gravity, water saturation, or seismic activity. The concept is closely tied to slope stability analysis, which assesses the balance between forces acting to move material downhill and those resisting such movement.
Several key factors influence skredbenägenhet, including the angle and composition of the slope, groundwater levels, vegetation
In practical applications, engineers and geologists evaluate skredbenägenhet through field surveys, laboratory tests, and computational models.
