- Abstract:
- Landsliding is the macroscopic effect of the slope failure; however, it is only the final stage of an often long-lasting process of soil deformation. In many cases, slope movement remains extremely slow and undetected for a very long time; in other cases, failure is abrupt, preceded by only small deformations and followed by fast and destructive movements. The detection and interpretation of pre-failure deformations and the precise definition of the unstable area are of paramount importance for risk mitigation. To this aim, optical fibres can represent a new and efficient tool.
