Travel To Attend: Organizational Travel for Comparative Study of Three Catastrophic Structured-Soil Flows in North- ern Andes, South America August 16-21, 1987

将进行为期三周的旅行，访问发生在哥伦比亚（1985年11月）、秘鲁（1987年3月）和厄瓜多尔（1987年3月）的三次主要滑坡的地点。这次访问的目的是与每个国家的国内专家会面，并在他们的帮助下确定三个实地考察地点，这些地点位于发生灾难性滑坡的残余和火山碎屑土壤所覆盖的地区。将在这些地点收集数据，并为合作研究奠定基础，利用最新的地质和地质力学检测和分析方法研究这些大规模的运动。从这一初步活动中，将出现关于可能不稳定的天然斜坡的稳定性的研究和国际合作，以制定减轻滑坡损害的方法。

A three-week trip will be undertaken to visit the sites of three major landslides occurred in Colombia (November, 1985), in Peru (March, 1987), and in Ecuador (March, 1987). The purpose of this visit is to meet with national experts in each country and with their help identify three field trip sites in regions underlain by residual and pyroclastic soils where catastrophic landslides have taken place. Data will be gathered at these sites, and the bases will be laid for cooperative research to study these large mass movements using the latest geological and geomechanical methods of detection and analysis. From this initial activity studies on the stabililty of natural slopes potentially unstable and international cooperation for developing methods for the mitigation of landslide damage will emerge.
