This diagram groups landslide mitigation into four core strategies: water control, slope geometry modification, structural reinforcement, and surface protection. Notice that each method changes the stability problem differently. Among these risks, interactions with landslides can sometimes be critical, as landslides can introduce new loads onto the existing structure that were not. Definition: Landslide mitigation is the set of geotechnical measures used to reduce slope movement risk by lowering driving forces or increasing resisting forces. Use case: It is used when natural or constructed slopes threaten roads, buildings, utilities, retaining systems, or long-term site. This paper aims to verify the main causes and mechanisms of collapse of bridges due to landslides, mainly of rocks and soils. Landslides exert forces with a significant horizontal component that may impact he supports, piers, or directly on the bridge deck, leading to deformations and, in extreme cases, collapse. The 390m long bridge consisted of an access part.
