[edit]

If anyone has access to the following reference, it would be appreciated. It appears to have the best accounting of the construction history and analysis of the failure:

  • Seed, H. B., Lee, K. L., Idriss, I. M., and Makdisi, F. I. (1975). “The slides in the San Fernando Dams during the earthquake of February 9, 1971.” J. Geotech. Engrg. Div., ASCE, 101(7), 651-688.

Alternatives are:
