May 13, 2010 #4 dgillette Geotechnical May 5, 2005 1,027 I think that you are correct ecanuck. The appearance of the ground is very much like earthquake-induced spreading from liquefaction. Expect similar behavior. Aside from the slide, everything else looks so normal in the photos. It's almost bizarre - no earthquake damage, no floods, just this slide.

Jun 3, 2010 #6 Mccoy Geotechnical Nov 9, 2000 907 A question for the canucks in the forum: are there any specific regulations for building on the Leda clay? Something like: building is not allowed above a treshold slope angle, or similar? Or do you just trust in your good luck?
