Abstract

The behaviour of landslides in clay is essentially governed by a shear zone located at the base of the soil mass. While some data regarding the shear zones of slides are available, information is rather poor about the shear zones of mudslides. The paper reports some results of investigations on the shear zone located at the base of a mudslide, showing the strong hydraulic and mechanical anisotropy of the material.
