<p>Flysch formations are generally characterised by evident heterogeneity in the presence of low strength and tectonically disturbed structures. The complexity of these geological materials demands a more specialized geoengineering characterisation. <br />In ...

The paper presents the kinematics of rock instability of a high limestone promontory, where the Monemvasia historical site is situated, in Peloponnese in Southern Greece. The instability phenomena poses a significant threat to the town located at the base of ...

A discussion on the use of the geological strength index (GSI) for the characterisation of tectonically undisturbed but lithologically varied sedimentary rocks rock masses is presented. Two GSI charts are proposed for estimating the mechanical properties ...
