An engineering analysis of the May 1983 rock slope failure on Slide Mountain, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1986)On May 30, 1933 a rockslide occurred on the east side of Slide Mountain, Nevada. Toe heave and slide debris falling in Upper Price Lake caused it to overtop the earth dam at the east end of the lake and flow down Ophir ... -
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 ...
