Abstract

Fast slope failures are important because they frequently leave no time available for their remediation or even escape of people. Several types of fast slope failures occur, such as:

• Slides on single or multiple surfaces

• Rock falls and rolls

• Soil and rock avalanches, debris run-outs and fast spreads

• Soil flows
