Las Colinas 2001 Landslide – Study on Mitigation through Slope Reinforcement
Landslides have been and will be a perpetual and reoccurring hazard worldwide. The extent of damage can range from minor losses in forested areas to complete death and devastation in cities. South and Central American countries are particularly vulnerable to landslides. In 2001 a strong earthquake hit the region and devastated El Salvador, particularly the Santa Tecla region where thousands of people died. Mitigation is the key to success for landslides and it has been made possible in different ways. This paper discusses the failure and proposes a solution using Ischebeck Titan self-drilling soil nails with a high-strength reinforcing mesh on the slope surface.
