POLA-VILLASENOR, Antonio; GARDUNO-MONROY, Víctor Hugo; DIAZ-SALGADO, Ciro  and  HERNANDEZ-MADRIGAL, Víctor Manuel. Geotechnical study and analysis of landslides and mitigation in the Francisco Zarco Park (Ocolusen), Morelia (Michoacán, Mexico). Bol. Soc. Geol. Mex [online]. 2006, vol.58, n.2, pp.183-193.

During the last four years the southeastern zone of Morelia city, has been affected by different gravitational processes. The scarp instability is conditioned by geologic-structural and climatic factors. The local instability was unchained by antropic factors, as a result of a road access construction at the top of the hillside, which has considerably modified the relief. This research paper was initiated with the topographic map detailed surveying, where the gravitational process and relief shapes were identified. The geotechnical, cartographical and instability results emphasize the importance of establishing geometric models supported by security coefficients and admissible displacements, which will be fundamental requirements to the engineering projects, related to mitigation works, protection, and urban development planning of the south sector of Morelia city.

Keywords : Gravitational processes; antropic factors; geotechnical research; Morelia; Mexico.
