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，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)的三个主要山体滑坡的地点。这次访问的目的是会见每个国家的国家专家，并在他们的帮助下确定发生灾难性山体滑坡的残余物和火山碎屑土覆盖地区的三个实地考察地点。将在这些地点收集数据，并将为合作研究奠定基础，以使用最新的地质和地质力学检测和分析方法来研究这些大规模的质量运动。通过这项初步活动，将开展关于可能不稳定的天然斜坡的稳定性的研究，并将开展国际合作，制定减轻滑坡破坏的方法。

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.
