The Role of Temperature in the Stress-Strain Evolution of Alpine Rock-Slopes: Thermo-Mechanical Modelling of the Cimaganda Rockslide

Andrea Morcioni et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the thermo-mechanical stress-strain history of an Alpine slope, focusing on the historical Cimaganda large landslide. Accurate geomorphological and geomechanical characterization was conducted, leading to the development of a conceptual model of the slope. A thermo-mechanical semi-coupled approach was used to simulate the slope's evolution, considering both glacial debuttressing and temperature effects. The results emphasize the importance of thermal processes in preparing rock-slope instabilities.

Deciphering meteorological influencing factors for Alpine rockfalls: a case study in Aosta Valley

Greta Bajni et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the relationships between climate processes and rockfall phenomena in the Aosta Valley of northern Italy from 1990 to 2018. The majority of rockfall events were found to be associated with non-ordinary climatic conditions, with spring events linked to freeze-thaw cycles, autumn events related to effective water inputs, and summer events connected to wet and dry episodes. The findings suggest that different strategies for defining critical thresholds for climate indices can be explored to apply across the study area, with a seasonal trend in the influence of climate on rockfalls.
