A Mechanical Slope for Flowslide Investigations

Massa, G. di / Pagano, L. / Pagano, S. / Russo, M. / Russo, R. / Zingariello, C.

The paper describes a mechanical slope developed to investigate rainfall-induced shallow landslides in loose coarse-grained soils, which can evolve into high-speed flowslides with propagation capabilities even in areas with very low gradients, putting people's lives and property at risk. The mechanical slope is the main component of an experimental plant built at the University of Naples. It consists of two inclinable parts: the upper one where the soil sample is deposited and the flowslide is generated, and the lower part that allows flowslide behaviour to be observed.
