- We investigated role of altered tephra deposits in occurrence of landslides leading to fatalities and property loss. This type of landslides occur worldwide and are particularly common in countries like New Zealand and Japan. We realised an abundance of mushroom cap–shaped spheroidal halloysite largely contributing to sensitivity of the material and hence the slope failure. This works contributes to understanding frequent landslide in altered tephra deposits and hence introduction of preventive methods to stabilise slopes containing this type of sediments. The paper is cited by engineering forums working on this field such as New Zealand and Japanese Geotechnical Societies.
