Abstract: Rainfall, earthquakes and human activities are the most relevant factors, which cause triggering of large landslides in mountain regions. Two severe landslides occurred in November 2000 in Slovenia. They attracted the attention of the entire country and also opened some new technical questions. Both landslides were initiated by a period of heavy rainfall. The Stože landslide occurred between 15 and 17 November, 2000 close to Mt. Mangart in the Julian Alps of western Slovenia. It destroyed about 25 ha of forest as well as a considerable section of the road leading over the Predel Pass. The landslide turned to a debris flow and reached the village of Log pod Mangartom more than 4 km downstream, where it took seven lives. Approximately 1 million m3 of material was displaced. The Slano blato landslide appeared between 18 and 19 November, 2000 near Ajdovščina. Its area was estimated to 20 ha, mostly forest and meadow. Sliding masses were composed from clayey gravel!
and weathered flysch cover. It was classified as an earth flow. The landslide has not reached the village downstream yet, but it threats it. The paper describes both landslides and their particularities. Special laboratory equipment, large scale shear-box, has been constructed to test the landslide material. From the test results it was observed the landslides were of different type and behavior. Results from both landslide materials were quite different, especially in the shear properties.
Keywords: landslides, debris flow, shear-box, shear strength
