Description :
Pore water pressure (positive and negative) were monitored for 4 years (1996-1999) in a riverbank of the Sieve River, Tuscany (central Italy), with the objective of investigating pore pressure changes in response to flow events and their effects on bank stability. Besides the peak river stage, which mainly controls the occurence of conditions of instability, an important role is played by the hydrograph characteristics, in particular by the presence of one or more minor peaks in the river stage preceding the main one.
