Introduction 1.1 Background The International Geotechnical Societies’ UNESCO working Party on World landslide inventory defined landslides as “the movement of a mass of rock‚ debris or earth down a slope”. (Sassa et.al.‚ 2007). Landslides as described by the Dahal (2006) are a downward movement of rock materials or debris or soil along the slope‚ when shear stress exceeds shear strength of the material. Many classification of landslides have been found in literature among them are the classification

Mass wasting is defined as the down slope movement of rock and regolith near the Earth’s surface mainly due to the force of gravity. Rock slides and debris slides result when rocks or debris slide down a pre-existing surface‚ such as a bedding plane‚ foliation surface‚ or joint surface. On February 17‚ 2006 the Philippines was hit by landslides. In Southern Leyte mudslides destroyed the mountain village (Barangay) Guinsaugon.

INTRODUCTION Laboratory experiment 5 is an exercise in hydrostatic. It is designed to demonstrate the stability of a floating cylinder and to familiarize the student with the concept of buoyancy‚ metacenter and metacentric height. It is also an experimental verification of the theory presented in the textbook. The center of the buoyancy of a floating body depends on the shape of the body and on the position in which it is floating. If the body is disturbed by a small angle of heel‚ the center

FORCES FOR STABILITY AND CHANGE Forces for Stability Organizational forces exist that provide continuity in form and function over time for survival of our system. These forces produce institutional power. Examples include: • Specialization • Continuity of roles • Predictable results • Sophistication • Maturity of key parts of the organization • Confidence in taking risks with known problems Clues that these forces are at work:

Oxford Dictionary of Current English defines stasis as‚ “inactivity; stagnation; a state of equilibrium” (Thompson 1360). In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World‚ equilibrium is achieved through the three political doctrines of community‚ identity‚ and stability.
