The analysis of the behaviour of natural slopes is generally performed in the assumption of fully drained conditions. In contrast, investigations of mudslides suggest that undrained conditions can periodically establish, mainly in stages of mobilisation or acceleration. The paper reports the results of some simple numerical analyses supported by data obtained from monitoring, aimed at assessing the role of excess pore pressures on the landslide behaviour.

Abstract
The analysis of the behaviour of natural slopes is generally performed in the assumption of fully drained conditions. In contrast, investigations of mudslides suggest that undrained conditions can periodically establish, mainly in stages of mobilisation or acceleration. The paper reports the results of some simple numerical analyses supported by data obtained from monitoring, aimed at assessing the role of excess pore pressures on the landslide behaviour.File in questo prodotto:
