Undermining of house due to Slope Failures in weakly cemented vertical cliffs in Corfu, Greece

This photo was taken in August 2002 in the North-West coast line of the island of Corfu in
Greece. It illustrates a typical failure of weakly cemented material. More information on
this type of failure can be found at "Slope Failures in weakly cemented vertical cliffs in
Corfu, Greece" by the Geoengineer website. You can see that consequent failures lead to a
sea-cliff retreat which consists a great hazard for the structure. Already the retaining wall
of the garden has been undermined and failed.
