Observations were carried out on the south-faced slope inclined about 30° and covered with bamboo bushes of 80~100 cm in height (Fig.1). The snow pressure against a wooden board (60cm wide, 15cm high, 1.9cm thick) fixed rectangular to the slope was measured by use of a road-Cell (Fig.2). And, the gliding movement of the snow cover was measured by use of glide shoes A-1~A-5 (Fig.3). As shown in Fig.3, the snow pressure changed with time in response to the gliding movement of the snow cover. After it indicated the maximum value, the snow pressure changed like a saw-tooth wave. A crack was formed at the snow surface several meters below the road-cell and the glide shoeA-2, 10p.m., Jan.28 (Fig.4). After the crack formation, the snow pressure diminished exponentially to three quarters of the maximum value. Part of the snow cover from the crack downwards fell down in the from of a ground avalanche on Jan.29. Hidden cracks was found out on a pit wall of the snow block which remained not avalanching below the crack (Fig.5). It is considered from these observations that the saw-tooth wave type changing of the snow pressure was caused by the stress alternation within the snow cover due to the formation of hidden cracks. Therefore, it may be possible to predict a crack formation at the snow surface before ground avalanching by means of such a simple apparatus for measuring the snow pressure.}, pages = {109--113}, title = {全層なだれの予知に関する一実験}, volume = {2}, year = {1980} }
