The Effects of a Landslide on the Habitation Objects and the Results of the Use of Two Dimensional (2-d) Electrical Resistivity

This paper reports a geophysical study of a recently activated landslide in the village of Proseku, Mirdita (Albania), due to intensive rainfall. The surface of the area involved in the landslide is 10 Ha. However, there are indications that the landslide area could increase and affect also other habitation objects. A geophysical investigation of the landslide, using the electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) method was carried out. The geophysical investigation has established the geoelectric section in several points of the longitudinal profile, improving the detailed geological mapping of the landslide.
