Susceptibilidad al deslizamiento en el corredor Siquirres-Turrialba

a landslide suceptibility zonation was performed in a 10 km wide corridor along the recope pipeline between the cites of siquirres and turrialba. the total study area is 330 km2. analysis was based on aerial photointerpretation, bibliographic research and the application of the mora-vahrson method (mora et al., 1992), in which slope was used instead of the internal relief parameter. a landslide inventory map was included in the evaluation of the lithological suceptibility parameter. zonation resulted in a predominance of areas with low landslide susceptibility (33,9%), mostly located where tuis formation is present, south east of the study area, followed by suretka formation and partially andesitas poás.
