The 2002 Molise, Italy, earthquake triggered a deep planar earthslide about 38 km away from the epicenter, mainly involving scaly clay shales and related weathered material. Based on site investigations and borehole data, the inferred depth of the sliding surface is between 30 and 50 meters below ground level, indicating an involved volume of about 40106 m3. The complex geological setting, the generated excess pore water pressure, and possible local seismic response are thought to have been the primary contributing factors.

Abstract
The 2002 Molise, Italy, earthquake triggered a deep planar earthslide about 38 km away from the epicenter, mainly involving scaly clay shales and related weathered material. Based on site investigations and borehole data, the inferred depth of the sliding surface is between 30 and 50 meters below ground level, indicating an involved volume of about 40106 m3. The complex geological setting, the generated excess pore water pressure, and possible local seismic response are thought to have been the primary contributing factors.File in questo prodotto:
