Estudio geológico para el nuevo trazado de la carretera de acceso a Lanjarón (Granada): análisis de estabilidad de taludes

Abstract

Detailed geological study of the western part of a new road leading to Lanjarón (Betic Cordillera) has revealed the existence ofnatural instabilities in metapelitic rock masses ofthe Alpurrides Units. We have analysed the stability of the future slopes in the Cerro de la Escolta based on detailed geological mapping and measurement of structural data and mechanical discontinuities
