Deformation associated with a slow moving landslide, Tuen Mun, Hong Kong, China

Parry, S. / Campbell, S. D. G.

Abstract Landslides in Hong Kong are commonly thought of as being fast moving with complete detachment of materials. However, following a recent hill fire, extensive ground deformation was exposed, predominantly in the form of surface cracks, associated with a slow moving landslide in an area of natural terrain above Tuen Mun, western Hong Kong. Mapping of these structures determined their extent, form and kinematics. In addition, a limited ground investigation including inclinometer monitoring was carried out to determine the depth, extent and approximate timing of deformation.
