Results are presented of a sequence of laboratory tests undertaken to elucidate the behaviour of deep-seated landslides. In deep-seated failures deformation has been reported at depths of up to 250 m. In the movement zone, owing to the weight of the overburden and the surrounding stress environment,
Knowledge of large-scale mechanical properties is essential for estimating the stability of rock slopes being deformed by deep creep and especially for predicting a transition to rapid sliding. Standard geomechanical testing procedures may not result in significant values as the volume of the mass m
Shoreline erosion results in landslides and complex slope processes, under appropriate conditions, in unconsolidated materials forming the coastal bluffs. Shoreline erosion and bluff recession along most of the Great Lakes shoreline results in losses in millions of dollars annually. An understanding
