Formation of Clay-Rich Layers at the Slip Surface of Slope Instabilities: The Role of Groundwater

Some landslides around the world that have low-angle failure planes show exceptionally poor mechanical properties. In some cases, an extraordinarily pure clay layer has been detected on the rupture surface. In this work, a complex landslide, the so-called Diezma landslide, is investigated in a low-...
