The goal of the project is to test a new rheological slope                      stability model.  This rate-of-deformation dependent and visco-                 plastic model will be tested with data from a specific landslide                which has been collected for years now.  The project is divided                 into four phases:  the first, field sampling; the second,                       laboratory testing, e.g., soil identification, triaxial and simple              shear strength, and creep tests; the third, analysis of the data                with deformation being calculated using the rheological model;                  and the fourth, preparation of report and papers.  The results                  of the project will provide a measure of the appropriateness                    and effectiveness of limiting-equilibrium slope stability models                currently used in comparison with this new technique for                        geotechnical design and evaluation of slopes.
