  Background: The Andirap landslide is located on the left bank of the Kavsakbendi dam body, which was completed and put into operation in 2013, approximately 50 km from the Kozan district of Adana Province Turkey. The landslide was initially identified in the 1960s. During excavations for the construction of the dam, which began in 2009, it was determined by measuring instruments that the landslide moved between the limestone bedrock and shale to a depth of about 72 m from the surface. The extensive site and laboratory investigations were conducted to investigate the sliding mechanism of the landslide. Monitoring and stability analyses were performed to monitor the landslide's effects on the dam structure. For this purpose, the shear mass has been periodically monitored since 2013 with geodetic (superficial) and inclinometric (deep) measurements. According to the m.. View More»
