Progressive Failure Reactivation of La Conchita Landslide in 2005
On January 10, 2005, a landslide debris flow killed 10 people, destroyed 13 homes, and damaged an additional 23 residences, in the town of La Conchita, California. During the last 18 years, the author has made detailed observations at the site and performed numerical modeling and conventional slope stability analyses, with the principal aim to understand the failure mechanism of the 1995 and 2005 slope failures. This article discusses the anthropogenic changes made to the slope after the March 4, 1995, landslide and their impact on the 2005 landslide debris flow. These modifications increased the vulnerability of the slope through saturation of the 1995 landslide deposits, and defied basic principles of sustainable design.
