EVALUATION OF MOVEMENT DATA AND GROUND CONDITIONS FOR THE ÅKNES ROCK SLIDE (2006)

Catastrophic rock slope failures have caused destructive tsunamis in Norwegian fjords. At the Ã…knes rock slope the tsunami generating potential is large due to the potential large volume involved in a possible catastrophic failure. Widening of the upper crack has been recorded since 1986, and in recent years, a quite extensive  investigation and monitorin campaign has been conducted. Data from some of these investigations are presented and analysed with respect to a preliminary evaluation of the stability of the slope.
