1.1 Different types of slope instability
Slope movements are extremely varied in terms of size, morphology and kinematic evolution. Numerous classifications have been proposed, based on different criteria: morphology, kinematics, nature of materials, etc. . Three main families of phenomena can be distinguished, which are responsible for major displacements of materials on slopes and hillsides:
landslides in soft ground, characterized by the formation of a failure surface along which displacements occur;...
