1.1Mount Mannen is a unstable rock slope 1215 m above Rnningen in
the Romsdal Valley located in Norway. It has the potential of creating a
rock avalanche of 2-20 million m3 with catastrophic consequences for
houses and infrastructure in the valley, in particular as a landslide dam
may be formed, including upstream and downstream flooding. The
rockslide behaved in unpredictable manner. The bedrock consists of
1.2.2 Empirical creep functions The most common empirical creep functions are
the
power law:

where s is the stress and t is time. K is the spring constant and h is the dashpot
viscosity. Note that the Kelvin model does not include any plasticity: some time
after the load has been removed the strain will be fully recovered.
