If anyone has access to the following reference, it would be appreciated. It appears to have the best accounting of the construction history and analysis of the failure:

  • Seed, H. B., Lee, K. L., Idriss, I. M., and Makdisi, F. I. (1975). “The slides in the San Fernando Dams during the earthquake of February 9, 1971.” J. Geotech. Engrg. Div., ASCE, 101(7), 651-688.

Alternatives are:

  • Cortright, C. J. (1975). “Effects of the San Fernando earthquake on the Van Norman Reservoir Complex.” San Fernando, California, Earthquake of 9 February 1971, Chapter 29, Bull. 196. California Div. of Mines and Geol., Sacramento, Calif., 395-406.
  • Subcommittee on Water and Sewage Systems. (1973). “Earthquake damage to water and sewerage facilities.” Utilities, Transportation and Sociological Aspects, Vol. II of San Fernando, California. Earthquake of February 9. 1971, U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Nat. Oceanographic and Atmospheric Admin., 75-193.
