ABSTRACT: Research on mud flow, a type of mass movement, is very interesting. Mudflow is fine-grained soil
that flows on the soil surface with water content that is equal to or higher than the liquid limit. This research
investigates the process of determining appropriate rheological parameters through a new laboratory test (flow
box test) and verifying these parameters based on other previous research results. A simulation with these
parameters (yield stress and viscosity) is then conducted, and several actual mudflow cases in Indonesia and
Taiwan are compared. This research helps clarify the behavior ofmudflow, especially during transportation.
Keywords: :vlass movement, mudflow, rheology, liquid limit, yield stress. viscosity

The Bingham model is a simplified rheology detern1ining the liquid limit through the use of a
model that is useful for soil with a very high shear penetration cone. Cohesion was obtained from an

PREFACE
Landslides have become a major threat and disasters at large scale residence area in urban as well as
suburban area or villages. Our profession has important roles in public safety against landslides and man
made slope failures and the potential of shaping the future of landslides risk management. The theme of the
conference '·ADVANCEMENT OF RESEARCH. PRACTICE, AND INTEGRATED SOLUTION ON
LANDSLIDE" reflect the effort to synergize the academic research and findings and practical experience in
facing climate change and human interference on the nature.
Engineering Geologists. Civil Engineers and Environmental Engineers and other professionals arc concerned
with the problems of debris flow, landslides and rockslides which may be caused by natural disasters. river
erosion, climate change, human errors and gco-cnvirontmental problems. Eventhough we have gained
experience. knowledge and advanced technology. there arc still numbers of deadly events that recently
occurcd at many places in Indonesia such as in Padang Pariaman in Sumatcra 2009 (more than 600 fatalities),
South Cianjur 2009 (54 fatalities) and recently at one particular district area of Banjarncgara, Central Ja, a
with 35 I fatalities (Legetang Kepakisan. I 6 April I 955). 90 fatalities (Sijeruk, 4 January 2006) and I 08
fatalities (Jcmblung. 12 December 2014) and also in many other countries as well.
Landslides Risk Reduction is hence very important steps in every country. They require multi hazard
approach including institutional capacities such as policy. legislation, education and training, community
awareness etc as an essential condition for its effectiveness. Many universities, research institutions.
landslides centers and geological or geotechnical consultants ha,e gained experience and knowledge which
are of valuable importance. Case histories of landslides contribute to the state of the art for research and
practice on landslides and rock slides. It is with the objectives of sharing knowledge. the conference has been
aimed for the goals. Hence the conference is very important event for exchange of ideas and experience and
for contribution among many countries all over the world.
We would like to extend my appreciation to all of you who ha, e been travell ing from far distance and
specially to the Keynote Speakers and authors who made their efforts to share their knowledge and
experience to the audience. This conference cannot be successful without the support of the clepartment. the
faculty of engineering, specially the dean Dr. Adhijoso Tjondro. Rector of Parahyangan Catholic University
Dr. Mangadar Situmorang. and Director of UPI Geoteknologi Dr. Haryadi Pcnnana for their encouragement.
Last but not least. to all members f the committee for their endless hard work and dedication, I have to
acknowledge that they arc the people behind the scene, for without them. this event will not come to reality.
Finally to all participants. I wish you find this conference useful and beneficial to you. and your institution.
