abstract="In 1967 a landslide developed along a section of freeway under construction in Minneapolis. The following procedure was undertaken to ensure the stabilization of the landslide and completion of the project: Instruments were installed to detect the depth and rate of movement, and exploration was undertaken to determine the properties of the material in the failure zone; a temporary buttress was placed to control the movements while corrective treatment was being designed; additional instruments were installed to monitor movements during construction of the permanent treatment; and, after completion, all instruments were maintained and additional instruments were installed to monitor post-construction movements, if any. The corrective treatment consisted of a series of slit-trench concrete buttresses anchored into limestrone below the failure plane. Details of exploration, instrumentation, testing, and design are included in the paper.<p />",
