| Abstract | Hai Van station is one of the most import ant railway stations in Vietnam, which is located at Hai Van pass near Da Nang city , in the central part of Vietnam . Landslide s have occurred at this place, especially during the rainy season. This disaster is endangering passengers as well as affecting the traffic on this unique and solely North -South national railway . Hai Van station landslide is one of the pilot study areas , conducted by a collaborative research project between Vietnam and Japan . A modern real time monitoring system has been set up for this site. Collection and analysis of monitoring data have started and continuing . In this research study, rainfall and displacement data were collected and analyzed by three methods , i.e., Caine (1980) , Lumb (1975) and Kanungo & Sharma (2014) . The results from three method s were compared and as a result , a modification from Lumb’ s method was proposed, which is suitable for Hai Van site condition and several proposed rainfall intensity threshold s were significant . This study found that with rainfall intensity of 27.5 mm per hour during 5 hours or with rainfall intensity of 5.68 mm per hour during 22 hours, it is sufficient to trigger potential landslide activities. The cumulative rainfall from upper 8 days with amount of 220 mm and rainfall intensity reaches at 156.5mm per hour are also can be potential landslide triggering. |
