Session Title
Mechanisms and Mitigation of Highway Landslide Collapse in Indiana
Track Title
GeoTech
Event Description/Abstract
Four generalized types of landslides will be discussed during this presentation: high bluff peeloff, groundwater blowout, deep-seated, and shallow colluvial. The presentation will include case histories that describe approaches for repairing slopes of these types and combinations of these types of landslides, for improving the stability of slopes that could be affected by landslides, and for reducing the hazard from debris flows to highways and properties below landslides.
