On 15 February 2010, a landslide of great dimensions occurred at Maierato (Southern Italy) after a long rainy period. Although the zone was continuously affected by movements, no monitoring system was installed before the landslide. However, many photos were taken to document the occurrence of deformations and two videos were filmed during the paroxysmal phase of the event. Photos and videos are used in the present study to reconstruct the kinematics of the landslide. A geotechnical model of the slope is also defined on the basis of the results from field and laboratory tests.

Abstract

On 15 February 2010, a landslide of great dimensions occurred at Maierato (Southern Italy) after a long rainy period. Although the zone was continuously affected by movements, no monitoring system was installed before the landslide. However, many photos were taken to document the occurrence of deformations and two videos were filmed during the paroxysmal phase of the event. Photos and videos are used in the present study to reconstruct the kinematics of the landslide. A geotechnical model of the slope is also defined on the basis of the results from field and laboratory tests.
