STABILITY PROBLEMS IN ROAD SLOPE AT THE SOUTH OF SPAIN, DUE TO THE HEAVY RAINS
During the winters 1995-96 and 1996-97, it rained heavily in South of Spain, a semiarid climate zone with many periods of long drought. In this period, in some points of the Andalucia Region the rains have surpassed the historic maximum registered. These rains have caused many slope stability problems, in old highways as well as in recently built motorways. This paper presents a new risk criteria for slope stability in semiarid zones, the characteristics of the produced unstabilities and the solutions used.
