| Abstract | This thesis presents a general picture of the type of slop movement of landslides in Taiwan R. 0. C. and a case study of the mudstone slope failure at Hsinhua in southwestern Taiwan. Chapter II present a literature review on landslide classification and identification. It is found that the VARNES ' s "Classification of slope movement " ( Table 2. 1> and "Features that aid in recognition of common types of slope movements" (Table 4. 1) are helpful for in situ observations. It was found that landslides in Taiwan strongly reflect the local geology, soil type and environment conditions. The characteristic tendency of landslides in Taiwan is shown in Table 6. 1 . The site investigations, soil testing, and slope stability analysis of the mudstone slope at Hsinhua indicated that the slide was "Earth Block Slide" CSlable slide) . It gave us a direction to prevent mudstone slope failure in these area. |
