A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Summary A combined rock and soil slide, on the S.E. side of Slide Mountain, Nevada, entered and displaced the majority of the impounded water from a small reservoir. The displaced water caused the failure of a similar reservoir downstream, and the combined water flowed very rapidly via a series of canyons, collecting rock debris as it travelled for over 4 kilometres horizontally and 600 meters vertically. The resulting debris flow finally issued from the canyon into a rural area producing widespread damage and personal injuries. The mechanics and causes of the landslide, and related water flood-debris flow are discussed.
