Canelles landslide Sample Clauses

Canelles landslide. A failure triggered by rapid drawdown The left margin of Canelles reservoir (Huesca, Aragón, Spain) is a sequence of subhorizontal thick units of Cretacic and Paleogene origin. Lower hard limestones are covered by levels of the Garum facies which includes claystones and limestones. The clay levels exhibit high plasticity (wL=54-57%, PI=27-31%) and are known to be involved in slope stability problems at regional scale. The reservoir serves several purposes: irrigation, electric generation and fluvial control. Rapid drawdown conditions are associated with irrigation demands in dry climatic periods. In the summer of 2006 a long continuous tensile crack, more than one kilometer in length, parallel to the reservoir water line created some alarm. Investigations performed immediately afterwards allowed the identification of a large landslide whose volume was estimated as 40·106 m3 (Figure 4.3.1). The crack was located at the foot of continuous scarp 4 to 5 m high which was identified as a limiting boundary of an ancient slide (Figure 4.3.2). Sierra de Blancafort
