Zusammenfassung |
Rapid snow melting and intense precipitation triggered and reactivated tens
of mostly shallow landslides in the eastern part of the Czech Republic at
the turn of March and April 2006. This area is build up by highly fractured
flysch rock units with variable content of sandstones and claystones. The
landslide complex at Hluboče (Brumov-Bylnice town) is composed of shallow
translational (up to 10 m thick) as well as deep-seated (up to 20 m thick)
rotational landslides, which generated a catastrophic earthflow at their
toe. This earthflow destroyed three buildings, the access road and caused
total loss of about 350 000 EUR. Detailed field investigation, review of the
archive sources and interviewing of local inhabitants allowed brief
description of slope movement history prior the catastrophic event as well
as detailed reconstruction of slope failure mechanisms during the main
movement activity (3–4 April 2006). This information, along with the
detailed description of the passive as well as active causative factors
(structural and morphologic settings) can contribute towards better
identification of potentially dangerous slope failures in the study region. |
