Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) investigations were performed to assess the depth and geometry of rock slides and buckles affecting a dip slope of regularly stratified limestones interbedded with marly-clayey horizons in the south-eastern Alps. This method was chosen because the absence of high cuts in the rock mass and the presence of debris and loosened slabs on the slope did not all-ow the geometry of the sliding mass to be described solely by means of field mapping.

Abstract

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) investigations were performed to assess the depth and geometry of rock slides and buckles affecting a dip slope of regularly stratified limestones interbedded with marly-clayey horizons in the south-eastern Alps. This method was chosen because the absence of high cuts in the rock mass and the presence of debris and loosened slabs on the slope did not all-ow the geometry of the sliding mass to be described solely by means of field mapping.
