Reevaluation of the fourth avenue landslide in Anchorage that occurred during 1964 Alaskan earthquake based on ring shear and in situ vane shear tests of the undrained peak and residual shear strength of bootlegger cove clay. Comperison with back analysis ...

The paper describes a constant volume ring shear apparatus that allows the measurement of the undrained peak and residual shear strengths of cohesive soils. The undrained peak and residual strengths are applicable to seismic stability evaluations of slopes ...
