... Abstract Ischia Island (Italy) experienced slope instabilities during the Holocene that occurred at different scales, from shallow mass movements up to large rock and debris avalanches. These events were strictly related to volcano-tectonic activity and the presence of a well-developed...

.... Empirical methods enabled straightforward determination of the need to include an intermediate pillar. A 3D boundary element model indicated that stress concentration in the roof was the main driver for instability. The 2D finite element model provided a FoS for roof failure of 1.20, considered adequate...

... and highly fractured rock, the erosion rapidly undercuts geological structures; enabling large instabilities to occur. When uncontrolled, the problem progressively worsens leading to the development of large chasms along major geological structures on pit slopes. Chasms up to 450 m high and 250 m wide have...
