Abstract
AbstractThe disposal of construction waste materials above the location of the village Podi was followed by the occurrence of a landslide which affected 3.5 ha and damaged 27 structures. In the course of legal proceedings initiated against the contractor, a question arose of whether the deposited material could have triggered the landslide. Response to this complex question required a multidisciplinary approach, including also a numerical parametric analysis. The results of such analysis indicated that the improper depositing of material over the upper part of a conditionally stable slope induced the landslide activation for two reasons: an increase in shear stress and a change in the natural groundwater regime, which in turn affected elevation in the pore water pressure.KeywordsLandslideNumericalFEMHydrogeology
