摘要
In March 1987, following two earthquakes and prolonged heavy rain, landslides in northern Ecuador caused extensive damage on slopes of 35-60-degrees. The tectonics of the area and the characteristics of the soil are described. Attention is focused on the aspects of behaviour which are peculiar to volcanic debris residual soils which may affect the stability of such materials on slopes. An analysis of the slides shows the effects of components such as shear strength, pore water pressure and seismic loading. The presence of a cohesive component of strength related to bonding is confirmed. Conclusions are drawn as to the mechanisms of the slides which required the presence of both saturated soil and the earthquakes. Gaps in current knowledge on these soils and future research needs are identified.
