Slow-Moving Landslides in East Honolulu
This paper reviews a class of slow-moving landslides that is prevalent in most of the deep-seated leeward valleys of East Oahu. Attention is placed on one slide in particular that shares similarities with the others in terms of morphology, topographic setting, rainfall patterns, subsurface soils and groundwater conditions. Discussion centers on geotechnical properties, correlations to rainfall patterns, slope monitoring results, slope stability modeling, and potential stabilization measures. It is found that most comprehensive solutions are impractical, except perhaps for the construction of a toe buttress. Light residential use may still be possible in the absence of comprehensive stabilization if risks are understood and prudent design features are adhered to. This is conceivable only because of the slow-moving character of the sliding processes, which generally does not pose a threat to health or safety.
