Effect of Slow-Moving Landslides on Churches in the Liguria Region: a Geotechnical Approach

== Abstract ==

Protecting cultural heritage from water-soil interaction related threats is a current 
issue and the prediction of the effects induced on buildings by landslides is very challenging. 
The main difficulties lie in the lack of detailed information about landside movements as well 
as  in  the  modeling  of  soil-structure  interaction.  This  paper  study  the  effects  of  a  particular  
category  of  slow-moving  landslides,  namely  active  rotational  and  translational  slides  with  
movement rates of the order of some mm/year, on buildings of historical and cultural interest 
such  as  churches.  Three  case  studies  located  in  the  Liguria  region  (Italy)  were  analyzed  by  
performing FEM and LEM numerical analyses on sections representative of the slope.
