Abstract

One of the most important issues in the evaluation of geological hazards is the delineation of landslide prone areas and the estimation of the slope failure potential. In this study, the GIS-based Newmark’s displacement method was applied for the first time in Greece, in order to compute the permanent displacement values and evaluate the slope failure potential in the area of the Skolis mountain in NW Peloponnesus, Greece. The resulting maps were validated using the distribution of secondary effects triggered by the 8 June 2008 earthquake. The study indicated that as the source areas of the rock falls were delineated by the Newmark displacement method, this may be a useful approach to predict earthquake-induced slope failures when the seismic potential of an area has been previously evaluated.
