Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes and presents the results of field studies of shales of the Cucaracha formation conducted during 1942-1946 by the Special Engineering Division of The Panama Canal Company in connection with the design of the Third Locks Project. Geology of the area in the vicinity of the then-proposed New Pedro Miguel Lock where the field studies were made, as presented in this report, was based on a review of geological studies available at the time of the tests supplemented by more recent studies and exploration of the Cucaracha formation by geologists of The Panama Canal Company and the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station. Measurements were made of structure settlements, settlements adjacent to the structure up to 40 ft away, and pressures immediately beneath the base of the structure. Recommendations made by a board of consultant in February 1945 following review of the test results are included in this report. The data indicate that settlement of large structures on Cucaracha clay shales could be higher than anticipated in 1945. It is recommended that analyses be made of the test data using present-day analytical methods.

Book excerpt: Developments in Geotechnical Engineering, Vol. 14B: Rockslides and Avalanches, 2: Engineering Sites focuses on initiatives to offer a foundation for studies of mass movement phenomena in the Western Hemisphere. The selection first takes a look at the contributions of Josef Stini to engineering, geology, and slope movement investigations, the concept of Karl Terzhagi on rockslides, and the contributions of Laurits Bjerrum to the mechanics of rockslides. Concerns cover stability of hard rock slopes, influence of geological details, relation between slide process and remedial treatment, water pressure in pores and fractures, slope creep, rockslides, and avalanches, and early warning of an impending slide. The publication then examines rock slope movements with hydroelectric power projects in Mexico, Bighorn Reservoir slides in Montana, U.S.A., rock avalanche and wave at Chungar, Peru, and wedge rockslides in Libby Dam and Lake Koocanusa in Montana. The text examines Hogarth Pit slope failure in Ontario, Canada, pit slope performance in shale in Wyoming U.S.A., Twin Buttes pit slope failure in Arizona, U.S.A., and the Prime Mine slope failure in Arizona, U.S.A. Discussions focus on stability analyses, description of slope failures, cause of failure, remedial actions, geotechnical properties of tertiary shales, and subsequent slope performance. The selection is a valuable source of data for researchers interested in rockslides and avalanches.
