Forecasting methods for landslides interacting with infrastructures

Abstract

Few years ago, during the start-up works for the realization of a tunnel entrance, a shallow translational landslide occurred. Following this event detailed engineering-geological surveys of the slope were performed and an integrated monitoring system, including also a Terrestrial SAR Interferometer (TInSAR), was built. Based on the time series of displacement semi-empirical approach was applied to the anchored bulkheads. Simultaneously an engineering-geology model was devised for a stress-strain numerical analysis which was performed by the finite difference code FLAC 6.0. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
