Our speaker for the February 2019 meeting is Rupert G. Tart, Jr, PE, DGE, LMASCE.
Abstract:
The damage during the Oso Landslide was extensive and immediate. There were 2 distinct slides. The first generated a splash so big that mud was thrown 4000 ft from the splash site. 43 people were instantly fatally injured. At least two people were buried and yet survived for many hours before being rescued. The slide was likely initiated by ground freezing at the west side of the slide scarp. The author has been studying and photographing (mostly from the air) the Oso site since 2002 and will present his rational for his opinions of what happened and why it happened.
