The paper reports an investigation into the distribution and type of landslides in the Benevento province in southern Italy, between 2001 and 2008. Field mapping was undertaken at various scales up to 1:10,000 depending on the features identified. Landslide types were recognized within 5-group lithotechnical sequences cropping out in the province, grouped according to their similar mechanical and lithological features. The analysis showed a widespread diffusion of Earth Flows, with reactivation linked to both rainfall and seismic events. They are structurally controlled related to bedding, stratigraphic/tectonic contact between more and less competent sequences and a high degree of tectonisation. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.

Abstract
The paper reports an investigation into the distribution and type of landslides in the Benevento province in southern Italy, between 2001 and 2008. Field mapping was undertaken at various scales up to 1:10,000 depending on the features identified. Landslide types were recognized within 5-group lithotechnical sequences cropping out in the province, grouped according to their similar mechanical and lithological features. The analysis showed a widespread diffusion of Earth Flows, with reactivation linked to both rainfall and seismic events. They are structurally controlled related to bedding, stratigraphic/tectonic contact between more and less competent sequences and a high degree of tectonisation. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
