Abstract:

This report basically looks at a new theory (undrained failure through the clay which was recently studied for the 4th Avenue slide) for the cause and failure mechanism of the "L" Street slide. The predominant theory is that the landslides at both "L" street and 4th Avenue were initiated due to liquification a sand layer. The additional data gathered from the geotechnical investigations on this project adds to the existing geotechnical database related to the 1964 Anchorage earthquake and can be used by State or Federal agencies, construction of buildings or roads.
