Characteristic of cut slope in sangun metamorphic region failed by heavy rainfall : in case of ube, yamaguchi (part 3)

From the same standpoint as in a previous paper, an investigation was made on a basic schist cut slope which failed during heavy rains (May 21 and July 2,1995) in the Sangun metamorphic region in the district of Ube, Yamaguchi. It was found from the investigation that the slope failed along joint surfaces of the remarkably weathered basic schist like a saw state, and its dimension was about 100m wide and 15m high. Also, the various properties of rocks and soils of the slope were obtained.
