| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper describes landslides and slope stability evaluation in the urban
area of Kruja, Albania. Kruja is a historical and heritage center, due to the
existence of many important cultural monuments, including "Skanderbeg"
castle and Bazaar square, etc. The urban area of Kruja has been affected by
landslide effects, in the past and also the present. From this phenomenon
many engineering objects such as buildings, roads, etc., are damaged and
demolished. From engineering geological mapping at scale 1:5000 it is
observed that many active landslides have dramatically increased in activity
since the 1980s. The landslide types found in the studied area are
earthslides, debris flow, as well as rockfall and rock rolling. Also, from
field works and laboratory analysis, the slope stability of the whole urban
area has been determined; for this purpose the studied zone is divided into
stable and unstable areas, which helps to better understand mass movement
activity as one of the most harmful hazards of geodynamic phenomena. |
