An investigation of the feasibility of a cutbank slope design method based on the analysis of natural slopes

Creator:

Keener, Quentin Roosevelt

Abstract:

The failure of cutbanks is a major problem encountered by those who construct low-cost roads in naturally forested residual soils. Attempts have been made to lessen the severity of failures by classifying certain soil areas as to their susceptibility to failure, in addition to bringing past design experience into play...

An Investigation of the Feasibility of a Cutbank Slope
A macroscale measurement and modeling approach to improve understanding of the hydrology of steep, forested hillslopes

Creator:

Graham, Christopher Brian

Abstract:

The dominant controls on flow generation in steep, forested hillslopes are poorly understood. This dissertation examined the dominant flow processes operating at the hillslope scale, using a combined macroscale measurement and model development and analysis framework. Irrigation experiments at two steep forested hillslopes were conducted to isolate individual hillslope flow...

Deformation, fluid venting, and slope failure at an active margin gas hydrate province, Hydrate Ridge Cascadia accretionary wedge

Creator:

Johnson, Joel E.

Abstract:

During the last 15 years, numerous geophysical surveys and geological sampling and coring expeditions have helped to characterize the tectonic setting, subsurface stratigraphy, and gas hydrate occurrence and abundance within the region of the accretionary wedge surrounding Hydrate Ridge. Because of these investigations, Hydrate Ridge has developed as an international...
