Graphical determination of requisite resistance to sliding for cross-section through hillside at station 12+00 along Parker Avenue, Lone Mountain, San Francisco: Supplement 7 from "Mechanics of landslides" (Thesis)

Description

The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether landslides could be predicted for hill slopes of known inclinations from data secured by laboratory tests performed on samples of the ground under consideration. Specifically, the investigation was to show whether a correlation existed between experimentally determined values for friction and cohesion of ground and calculated values based upon the configuration of earth masses that had slid. The ability to determine the stability of slopes from experimental data is of obvious significance.
