Etude sur modèle réduit du glissement de Léaz dans la retenue de Génissiat
Study on a reduced model of the Léaz slippage in the Génissiat barrage
Compagnie Nationale du Rhône
Abstract
A potential landslide of approximately 350,000 m3 is located on the right bank of the Rhône, above the barrage created by the Génissiat Dam, approximately 7 kilometers upstream from the built-up area of Bellegarde-sur-Valserine. This has led the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône to constantly supervise the area and to carry out various studies intended to draw up a set of urgent operating procedures in order to avoid any damage for the inhabitants. The aim of the reduced-model study described here is to determine the consequences of a landslide on the Génissiat barrage and on the town of Bellegarde-sur-Valserine and thus enable operating procedures to be clearly defined.
