The long-term failure characteristics of overconsolidated clay shales in the Mount Diablo region
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1989)Relatively shallow slides at inclinations comparable to the residual friction angle of the existing clay shales are occurring within Lime Ridge. A stability analyses was preformed on three potential slides to determine ...
