Numerical Analyses of Rainfall-Induced Landslides - The Case of Nocera Inferiore, March 2005

Abstract

The following report contains the results of 2D numerical simulations intended to reproduce the rain induced seepage process which triggered the Nocera landslide of March 4, 2005. Particular attention has been dedicated to focus on the effects of rainfall on pore water pressure distribution and flow rate over the slope domain and on the slope stability progress over time.
