Abstract
The occurrence, cause, and correction of landslides and earth movements in the San Francisco Bay region of California are described in this paper. Examples are cited of (1) a shear slide in which hydrostatic uplift on an unbalanced slope resulted in mass movement of the unconsolidated slope material; (2) a shear slide caused by the overstress of clayey material on a slope that had absorbed a water load; (3) a slide that developed along the contact between two rock formations; (4) a detrital slide caused by the seasonal saturation of soil; (5) a detrital slide resulting from a geochemical breakdown of rock cut slopes; (6) a slide of street fills founded upon soils subject to movement when saturated; (7) a detrital slide generated by earthquake shock; (8) slides started by ground-water pressure; and (9) soil creep.
