Reasons for the scores assigned as default values An explanation for the scoring for the mitigation measure "transferring the load to more com- petent strata with piles" is given as an example. The same explanation can be found in the toolbox. Table 3.3.1 presents the reasoning for the scoring factors in the toolbox. These are based on the values provided in the compendium. Table 3.3.1 - Scoring factors (default value) for piles as mitigation measure Ranking criterion Descriptor Scoring factor Notes Type of movement Falls 0 Measure is best suited for slides and the slide-like portion of complex landslides. Measure may be applicable to prevent the triggering of slides with the potential to turn into spreads or flows, the measure is essentially ineffective once fluidization has occurred. One of the better measures for complex soil conditions. Spreads 4 Flows 4 Material type Earth 8 Measure is difficult, very expensive and typically inappropriate in rock. Tools and temporary hole support to be selected taking into account ground conditions. Special care must be exercised where the ground contains large boulders. Pile driving should be preferably achieved without causing excessive vibration. Debris 8 Rock 0 Depth of movement Superficial (< 0.5 m) 0 Typically, the measure is: best suited where the movement is medium deep (3 to 8 m), inappropriate in shallower movements because excessively expensive, difficult (large diameter, multiple rows) in case of deep movements, not applicable for very deep movements. Shallow (0.5 to 3 m) 4 Medium (3 to 8 m) 8 Deep (8 to 15 m) 4 Very deep (> 15 m) 0 Rate of movement Moderately to fast 0 Workers’ safety and end result require construction to take place when movement is extremely slow or very slow (maximum 1.5 m/year, corresponding to approximately 5 mm/day). Under special conditions and while taking due precautions (permanent casing; drilling non-stop to avoid blockage and broken piles, the measure may be selected movement is "slow" (up to 1.5 m/month, corresponding to 5 cm/day) . Slow 4 Extremely slow 8 Groundwater Artesian 2 High groundwater levels can be dealt with by standard pile construction procedures, but artesian groundwater conditions pose special problems during construction, possibly making piles not feasible in extreme cases. High 6 Low 8 Absent 8 Surface water Rain 8 Water courses need to be temporarily diverted or kept reasonable dry during construction. Potential pollution of watercourses by piling operations (for example b...
