Understanding patterns of movement for slow moving landslides

Understanding patterns of movement for slow moving landslides

Abstract The movement of many landslides is controlled by the force imbalance associated with a reduction in shear resistance caused by a decrease in normal effective stress as pore water pressures increase. This basic premise might lead to an assumption that the movement rate has…

The importance of accurate pore water pressure measurements when conducting CPTu as exemplified using data collected in Christchurch following the Canterbury earthquake sequence

The importance of accurate pore water pressure measurements when conducting CPTu as exemplified using data collected in Christchurch following the Canterbury earthquake sequence

Piezocone penetration testing (CPTu) is a widely used investigation method for geotechnical analysis and liquefaction assessments. In addition to recording tip resistance (qc) and sleeve friction (fs), pore water pressure (u) is measured by a pressure transducer via a porous filter commonly located behind the…
