Figure 4 Horizontal and vertical displacements measured on Sections 6 and 12.
(See Fig. 3 for key.)

displacement directions dip between 30 and 40 8 from the horizontal, for all

points.
The normalized horizontal displacements, obtained by dividing the
displacement by the height of fill above the surveyed point, range between
ds

= ¼ : = ¼ : :

As shown in Fig. 6 , the values of the
normalized displacements are strictly related to the average slope above the point,
whose displacements are considered (Sembenelli and Sembenelli, 1998). It is
worth noting that normalized horizontal displacements tend toward ds = H ¼ 0% ;

H 0 25% to ds H 0 56%
