In recent years, a number of catastrophic flowslides revealed the high risk which threatens wide areas of the Campania Region, Southern Italy. In the Authors' opinion, the fast movements and the long run-out of these landslides are caused by the build up of positive excess pore pressures occurring after slope failure in the loose granular deposits of pyroclastic nature which cover hills and mountains (i.e. static liquefaction) Starting from this idea, hazard mapping including the definition of sites characterized by a significant liquefaction potential might be beneficial for land management.
Occurrence of flowslide in soils of pyroclastic origin and considerations for landslide hazard mapping

Abstract
In recent years, a number of catastrophic flowslides revealed the high risk which threatens wide areas of the Campania Region, Southern Italy. In the Authors' opinion, the fast movements and the long run-out of these landslides are caused by the build up of positive excess pore pressures occurring after slope failure in the loose granular deposits of pyroclastic nature which cover hills and mountains (i.e. static liquefaction) Starting from this idea, hazard mapping including the definition of sites characterized by a significant liquefaction potential might be beneficial for land management.File in questo prodotto:
