Nine case records of slope failure during the Saguenay earthquake are documented, including five in granular embankments, two in natural slopes in granular material with small embankments at the top, and two in sensitive clay. The bedrock motion during the earthquake is well documented; each failure is related to the most probable bedrock motion at the site (0.05 to 0.15 g). For the seven cases of failure in granular slopes, the reserve of stability under static conditions was relatively low before the earthquake, and only a small additional undrained loading was necessary to develop failure. Two slope failures occurred in extrasensitive clay deposits containing no visible lens or layer of silt or sand. Silty or sandy materials have been identified only at the clay–till contact. It is believed that in at least one of the sites a portion of the failure surface developed at the inclined clay–till contact. Key words : slope failure, earthquake, sensitive clays, embankment fill, stability, granular material.

After Howell (1) had shown that ruthenium red treatment of fixed frog skeletal muscle caused collapse of the intermediate cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), forming a pentalaminate structure by obi iterating the SR lumen, we demonstrated that the phenomenon involves the entire SR including the nuclear envelope and that it also occurs after treatment with other cations, including calcium (2,3,4).From these observations we have formulated a hypothesis which states that intracellular calcium taken up by the SR at the end of contraction causes the M rete to collapse at a certain threshold concentration as the first step in a subsequent centrifugal zippering of the free SR toward the junctional SR (JSR). This would cause a) bulk transport of SR contents, such as calcium and granular material (4) into the JSR and, b) electrical isolation of the free SR from the JSR.
