Characteristic of cut slope in sangun metamorphic region failed by heavy rainfall : in case of Ube, Yamaguchi (part 2)

From the same standpoint adopted in a previous paper, an investigation was made on schist cut slopes which failed due largely to heavy rain during last year in the Sangun metamorphic region in the Kawakami district of Ube, Yamaguchi. It was found from the investigation that the most of slopes failed because of plane sliding of surface soil. It was also found that the surface soils are classified as silty sand to silt.
