Inherited structural discontinuities are known to play a dominant role in rock slope stability. The influence of their density and persistence on failure kinematics, resulting mobilized volume and slope morphology remains poorly constrained. The influence of these parameters is addressed using a 2-D physical modeling technique. Rather than...

A finite difference two-dimensional model with Hooke–Mohr–Coulomb properties and topography derived from the DEM are used to reproduce the La Clapière landslide. The principal factor defining the gravity-driven destabilization of the model is a gradual reduction in the cohesion. This reduction simulates a degradation of the material properties...

After a few years of research, the observation and the analysis of the deep-seated landslides suggest that these are mainly controlled by tectonic structures, which play a dominant role in the deformation of massif slopes. The La Clapière deep-seated landslide (Argentera Mercantour massif) is embedded in a deep-seated gravitational slope...
