Landslides are frequent in the steep forested regions of the Oregon
and Washington coastal mountain ranges. The need for forest products
has resulted in increasing logging activity in these marginally stable
areas. The occurrence of landslides has increased, which in turn has

During construction of the embankment at Blue River Dam
placement difficulties were occasionally experienced with the filter
zone sands. In the extreme condition construction equipment became
mired and part of the fill had to be removed and wasted. A
laboratory investigation was conducted on materials from the above
project to...
This paper examines the response of submerged model sand
slopes to vibration and the beneficial effects of placing rock revetments
on the face of the slope to prevent flaw slides.
Pore water pressure response and deflection were used as a
criteria for stability in an attempt to relate stability with...
