Vajont 2013
Dal 08/10/2013 ore 09.00 al 10/10/2013 ore 19.00
Centro Culturale S. Gaetano, via Altinate, 71 Padova
The Vajont landslide is commonly considered as a reference event for the geological risk evaluation, as well as for rock mechanics studies, and its study could be considered the foundation of modern Engineering Geology.The Conference is aimed to discuss on advances in Geological Sciences in the last 50 years, and in particular in Engineering Geology of giant landslides.Giant landslides have been widely detected and studied in mountain chains, but the knowledge of their triggering conditions and propagation processes is still limited.Although the Vajont landslide is not the largest rockslide in the Alpine region, it can be considered a reference case study at a worldwide scale due its kinematics and to the negative influences of reservoirs on the stability of slopes especially those affected by Deep-Seated Gravitational Slope Deformations.The main objective of the Conference is to promote an updated scientific revision of this catastrophic landslide considering all its geological and technical aspects, which led to the catastrophic collapse of the 9th October 1963, and the consequences that dams construction may have on existing infrastructures through the development and collapse of large landslides.The overall review and researches on the Vajont landslide will create an excellent scientific opportunity to exchange the current geological and engineering knowledge of giant rock slides and their potential impact on large infrastructures as dams.
