ABSTRACT Landslide processes commonly occur on both sides of the Scascoli Gorge. The valley floor is flanked by vertical sandstone walls 40 to 80 m high, as well as steep slopes of heavily fractured and weathered rocks. The most important rockfalls known up to date occurred from the left valley side in 1992, 2002 and 2005, when a rock wedge called Mammellone 1, collapsed by a large and complex rockslide, with an estimated volume of 30.000 m3. The collapse of the Mammellone 1 shifted the riverbed to the right valley side where, just a few weeks later, a roto-translational earth slide was triggered by the consequent undermining process. In order to rehabilitate the local road, three safety interventions were planned in the following order: (a) reshaping the residual wall of the Mammellone 1; (b) removing the shallow earth slide from the right valley side, and consolidating its detachment zone; (c) carrying out training works on the riverbed, and reconstructing the road embankment.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Landslide processes commonly occur on both sides of the Scascoli Gorge. The valley floor is flanked by vertical sandstone walls 40 to 80 m high, as well as steep slopes of heavily fractured and weathered rocks. The most important rockfalls known up to date occurred from the left valley side in 1992, 2002 and 2005, when a rock wedge called Mammellone 1, collapsed by a large and complex rockslide, with an estimated volume of 30.000 m3. The collapse of the Mammellone 1 shifted the riverbed to the right valley side where, just a few weeks later, a roto-translational earth slide was triggered by the consequent undermining process. In order to rehabilitate the local road, three safety interventions were planned in the following order: (a) reshaping the residual wall of the Mammellone 1; (b) removing the shallow earth slide from the right valley side, and consolidating its detachment zone; (c) carrying out training works on the riverbed, and reconstructing the road embankment.
