Sažetak
Results of landslide monitoring undertaken between 1998–2010 on the north-eastern slope of the central part of Rječina Valley in front of Grohovo village (north-eastern coastal part of Adriatic Sea, Croatia) are presented. This is the largest regional active landslide. The slopes around the Rječina riverbed are formed in siliciclastic sedimentary rocks with flysch characteristics. The bedrock is mostly covered with unstable slope formations. A limestone rock mass is visible on the cliffs around the top of the river valley. The landslide is complex and retrogressive, with 13 sliding bodies. It occurred in December 1996 by displacement of an initial landslide body where movement had been registered in the 19th century. The limestone mega-blocks and separated rocky towers on the top of the slope have also moved, which is an atypical phenomenon of the flysch slopes in the area of Rijeka. After initial sliding ceased, and major movements subsided, monitoring of benchmark movements from 1998 until 2010 determined further maximum displacements on the upper part of the slope, and minimum movement in the lower part. The area of the Rječina Valley from the Valići Dam to the Pašac Bridge was selected as a pilot area in the framework of the Croatian-Japanese bilateral joint research project. Monitoring results provided the basis of establishing an early warning system for possible landslide occurrence and estimating the degree of landslide risk.
