Last Winter's Earth Slides
Overstate Proved Costly
PORTLAND Last winter's I
earth slides caused greater dam
age man is generally realized and
the whole subject of slides needs
expanded study, the state Depart
ment of Geoloev reports in its
publication, the Ore.-Bin.
Herbert G. Schucker. geologist
with the department, reported
that Multnomah County alone
outside the city of Portland had
109 slides during the winter. The
cost of slide repair in the county
and in Portland for streets and
water systems ran to $325,000, he
said.
Moreover, he said, the state
Highway Department estimates
$100,000 a year slide damage to
state highways in the four years
up to last November.
Construction cost of the relocated
Willamette Highway near Lookout
Point Dam was increased S5uu,uuu
by slides.
In addition, Schlicker said, the
cost to the Forest Service, logging
companies, railroads, power and
telephone companies and other
businesses and individuals adds
to the toll taken by unstable
slopes.
f radically au slides snow some
sign of coming before the ground
actually gives 'way bent trees,
tipped fence posts or tension
cracks at the upper edge, Schlick
er said,' and he added that every
old slide is a danger sign.
Last fall's severe early frost no
doubt played a big part in the
unusual number of slides during
the winter, Schlicker ' said, be
cause formation of ice crystals
expanded the soil and gave in
creased moisture capacity. Then
when unusually heavy rains came
the ground took on more moisture
than many slopes could handle
without slipping.
Schlicker said that control of
slides on lone sloDes often is eco
nomically impossible and that
sometimes it is cheaper to let
slides cloe a highway and then
clean up the debris than to 'treat
tne slope to prevent; a suue.
But on a small slope, he said
the soil generally can be stabil
ized bv taking the load off the
top of the slope and placing ma
terial at the toe, and by controll
ing surface drainage and tiling
out sub-surface water.
There are such solutions, too,
he said, as driving piling of
proper strength and deep enough
and building retaining walls but
these need to be aided by proper
drainage and re-sloping.
mere are prooiems oi design
and of anchoring and of using the
proper material and of compact
ing it, Schlicker said, and so "per
sons familiar with design of re
taining walls should be given the
responsibility."
He concluded that probably the
greatest cause of retaining wall
failure is poorly compacted fill
material of the wrong kind, be
hind it. Such a fill, he said, should
be of well graded soil compacted
by hand or pneumatic tampers in
layers not exceeding six inches.
installed properly, a retaining
wall can be a satisfactory solution
on a steep niuside, ne said, ine
overall problem he described as
reaching a satisfactory level oi
safety within economical limits of
cosU-factors which vary with the
hillsides.
