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

将进行为期三周的访问， 哥伦比亚（1985年11月）、秘鲁、 （1987年3月）和厄瓜多尔（1987年3月）。 这样做的目的 访问的目的是会见每个国家的国家专家， 他们帮助确定了三个实地考察地点， 被残留的火山碎屑土壤所覆盖， 已经发生了。 数据将在这些地点收集， 将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。 从最初的活动 潜在不稳定天然边坡的稳定性研究 国际合作以制定 滑坡灾害将得到缓解。

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.
