| | Year Published: | 1997 | | Publication Type: | Hardbound | | Total Pages: | 132 | | ISBN: | 0813741114 | | Product Code: | REG011 | | A multidisciplinary volume of case histories presenting the work of professionals who investigated catastrophic damage caused by the 1992-1993 winter storms in southern California and Arizona. Papers in this volume discuss topics such as: why severe winter storms occur and how the resulting floods fit into the context of the geological record; flood-damaged infrastructure development and mining operations in river channels; storm damage to four counties in southern California; ground settlement intensified by rising ground water caused by infiltrating rain, and the subsequent litigation; warning the public of imminent debris-flow hazards and how to set the moisture and rainfall thresholds that must be reached to issue a warning; and major infiltrating-rainfall-activated landslides that damaged homes in southern California. The release of this volume marks the 50th anniversary year of the Engineering Geology Division. |
