Abstract

Landslides in the Gulf of Corinth rift zone, Greece, are mainly in the vicinity of major active faults. The current study reports a representative landslide in this structurally controlled region which periodically moved, triggered/reactivated by heavy rainfall and earthquake activity. The composite landslide developed on structurally complex formations including sheared and weathered flysch—the most landslide-prone geological formation in Greece. The experience on the site during the last thirty-five years has contributed to a better understanding of the particular landslide mechanism and helped in the consideration of the effectiveness of various remedial works.
