5. Following this event, the Research Centre for Geological Risks CERI of the
University of Rome “Sapienza” carried out detailed engineering-geological
investigation and surveys (field geomorphological, geological and
geomechanical surveys, boreholes, seismic surveys and laboratory tests of
samples) on the slope in order to define a reference model to explain the
occurrence of the landslide and to plan the remediation works

21. Control monitoring: displacements related to the
restarting of tunnel excavation
Before the beginning of the tunnel excavation the anchored bulkheads showed an almost
constant velocity of displacement on the order of 0.05 mm/h. Immediately after the
beginning of the excavation the velocity of bulkheads suddenly increased reaching maximum
values of 0.75 mm/h with acceleration and deceleration peaks on the order of 0.02 mm/h2.
During the three excavation phases a maximum displacement of about 100 mm was
recorded on the first order of bulkhead. In the last two phases, the interferometric monitoring
allowed us to clearly recognize a typical creep behaviour.

23. Some hints from the large collected dataset
•
•
•
During more than 40 months monitoring,
several shallow landslides were detected by
TInSAR images of the slope. In particular, ten
events were identified by TInSAR data and then
confirmed by optical photos
The large dataset of events occurred on the
same slope (which means similar conditions
and features of the landslides) and the
detailed displacement data available
represented an occasion to test the efficacy
of semi-empirical approaches based on time
series of displacement or derived quantities
(i.e velocity, acceleration etc).
The displacement behaviour of the 10 shallow
landslides, and especially in their pre-failure
stage, were analysed in detail in order to infer
information about the total amount of
displacement, the duration of the entire
process, the velocity, the acceleration, etc.

25. Test # 1: Fukozono (1985) linear model and its
modifications applied to shallow landslides
•
•
For each landslide, the predicted time of failure was computed iteratively since the
beginning of the displacement phase (looking at the tertiary creep phase) by
increasing the number of displacement data step by step. Hence, the real prediction
of the time of failure based on the newly collected data over time was simulated.
A new approach named ADF (Average Data Fukuzono) was developed. ADF is based on
the average and moving average velocity computed from temporal consecutive
data. In the first case, data were averaged iteratively, starting from the first data
collected. In the case of the moving average, the data were averaged by using the half of
the dataset moved iteratively by one single step until the last half before the failure.

Landslide risk reduction by coupling

36. The geomechanical model - 2
Applying the continuum equivalent approach to the time
dependent behavior
1) a Burgers visco-plastic model was assumed for the MRS;
2) a Burgers visco-plastic model coupled with a plasticity threshold was assumed for the RL, DRL and Ls.
Viscosity values of MRC: the viscosity values of the Kelvin–Voight visco-elastic element was always assumed
to be one order of magnitude higher than the ones used for the visco-plastic Maxwell element.
For calibrating the viscosity values of RL, DRL and Ls a best fit was performed between the monitored
displacements, referred to the different excavation and re-shaping steps within the landslide mass and the
numerical modeled ones.

39. Final remarks
1) Integrated monitoring as a tool for better understanding and constraining
the slope instability (refinement of the geological model);
2) Controlling the performance of stabilization countermeasures and
management of emergency phases;
3) Testing the suitability of time of failure prediction based on semi-empirical
models;
4) Successful attempt of integrating equivalent continuum approaches with
visco-plastic constitutive laws;
5) Possible future development: the numerical model validated via backanalysis as a tool for implementing forward analyses, accounting for the
work-related stress variations.
