Movement of landslides in stiff clays and clay shales
… with estimated annual fatalities resulting from landslides near 5000 and economic losses amounting to over $15 Billion U.S. dollars. Yet, the stability of natural and man-made slopes is generally evaluated using limit equilibrium methods expressed as a ratio of resisting and driving forces (termed …

Meaning, measurement, and field application of fully softened shear strength of stiff clays and clay shales
… shear strength in the failure of natural and cut slopes is important for design and stability evaluation. The intact shear strength is rarely available at the time of first-time slope failures. It is generally accepted that only residual shear strength is available for the reactivated …

Movement of Reactivated Landslides
"Because the displacement rate of ""very slow"" and ""extremely slow"" moving reactivated landslides in stiff clays and clay shales, is typically controlled by fluctuations in piezometric levels; the relations between rate of movement and piezometric levels and factor of safety (proportional to …
