Show summary
The Grande da Pipa River (GPR) basin (Portugal) has natural conditions that favor the
occurrence of landslides. The hydrological year 2009/10 was characterized by high amounts
of rainfall, which led to the occurrence of an also high number of landslides in this basin.
The hydrodynamic character of the GPR basin was analyzed through a lumped parameter model
of daily sequential water balances, in order to understand its influence in the stability of natural
slopes. Results from the model were confronted to the inventory of landslides that occurred in
the basin during the hydrological year 2009/10. Morphological, geotechnical, and hydrological
local conditions affecting slope stability were also analyzed through back-analyses of two selected
deep-seated landslides. Data here presented shows that the rise of water table is an important
triggering factor for landslides. The most important constraint for landslides in the area is the degree
of weathering and thickness of the upper layer of degraded marls. In most of the basin, the degraded
layer is less than 5 m deep, causing the occurrence of shallow and intermediate landslides. However,
deep-seated landslides were also found in areas, even with degraded marls that were less than
5 m-thick, where landslides have also occurred in the past.
