Characterization of Soil Properties and the Implications for Landslide Occurrence in Rubanda District. by Ainamaani, Samuel

“…In order to test the hypothesis that ‘soils at the landslide site are particularly ‘problem soils’ and thus prone to landslides’, the following analyses were undertaken: Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCP), particle size distribution and Atterberg limits. The liquid limits for all the test pits were all above the threshold of 25% indicating high expansion potential of the soils in this area. …”
