Compound Slides(CS). A compound landslide is composed of a large host landslide... that encompasses smaller secondary landslides... The host landslide is a slow-moving landslide set on a gentle slope(<20°) of epiclastic materials. Its surface is irregular, with depressions, bulges, scarps and counterscarps and distensile, compressive and strike cracks. The movement of the host landslide can generate failures that favor secondary landslides located mostly along the steepest slopes of the host landslide(scarps and toe). Diverse types of secondary landslides may be observed on the same host landslide. Multiple levels of groundwater flow are commonly formed within compound landslides due to the presence of multiple low permeability surfaces(faults, cracks, material heterogeneities, and shear planes). An increase in the water table tends to accelerate host landslides and may contribute to secondary landslide failure. 1, record 1, English, - host%20landslide

Erosion control Mattress... the placement of revetment mats on slopes to be protected is one of the methods of erosion control.... The mattress generally consist of double layers of woven fabric forms placed on the slope to be protected and filled with concrete or grout.... this type of forming system is a simple, fast, and economical technique for the placement of concrete for slope protection both above and below the water without the need for dewatering.... For normal installations, the fabric forms, prefabricated to job specifications and dimensions, are simply spread over the terrain, which has received minimal grading. The fabric form is then pumped full of mortar.... This same concept can be used where slide problems are caused by eroding of the toe of the slopes, and where access is difficult for placement of rip-rap. 1, record 15, English, - erosion%20control%20mattress

Tapis parafouilles (...) fonctions du géotextile (...) Filtre : le géotextile limite jusqu'à stabilisation la migration de particules fines du sol support vers le tapis parafouille sous l'action des courants de percolation, empêche ainsi une érosion interne de ces sols et une ruine consécutive de l'ouvrage de protection, tout en maintenant la libre circulation de l'eau. Séparation : le géotextile délimite les matériaux formant le tapis parafouille et les sols sous-jacents et évite leur interpénétration. 2, record 15, French, - tapis%20anti%2D%C3%A9rosion

a measure of the average gradient of sensitometric curve. The slope of two parallel lines drawn 0. 1 coordinate units apart framing the sensitometric curve. One line is tangent to the high-density portion(shoulder) of the curve; the other line is tangent to the low-density portion(toe) of the curve. Bar "gamma" is the slope of the framing lines and is expressed as the tangent of the angle made by the lines and the log exposure base line. Bar "gamma" is normally used in micrographics to express the contrast of diazo and vesicular films. 1, record 17, English, - bar%20gamma

mesure du contraste moyen d'une courbe sensitométrique. Pente de deux lignes parallèles tracées à une distance de 0,1 unité de densité l'une de l'autre et qui encadrent la courbe sensitométrique. L'une des lignes est tangente à la partie de forte densité de la courbe (épaule), tandis que l'autre est tangente à la partie de faible densité (talon). Le gamma barré est la pente formée par ces deux lignes et s'exprime par la tangente de l'angle par ces deux lignes et s'exprime par la tangente de l'angle formé par ces deux lignes et le logarithme des luminations. Le gamma barré sert ordinairement en micrographie à exprimer le contraste des films diazo et vésiculaires. 1, record 17, French, - gamma%20barr%C3%A9
