Authoritative, state-of-the-art guidance to soil strength andslope-stability analysis
Through clear, concise language and practical examples, SoilStrength and Slope Stability describes state of the art methods forevaluating soil strength, and for analysis, design andstabilization of slopes in soil. The principles of limitequilibrium analysis, and appropriate use of computer programs areemphasized. Methods are described for checking the results ofcomplex analyses, and for presenting results of slope stabilityanalyses clearly. These are illustrated through many examples.
Written by two recognized experts in the field, Soil Strengthand Slope Stability features:
Case histories of landslides, embankment failures, excavationslope failures
Principles that govern the shear strength of soils, includingshear strength of municipal solid waste
Methods for estimating and evaluating shear strengths based onback analysis of slope failures and stable slopes
Explanations of the conditions that slopes must be designed toendure
Detailed explanations of analysis methods for short-term andlong-term stability, rapid drawdown, earthquake, and partialconsolidation
A wide range of analysis methods, methods for verifyingresults, and advice on presenting the results of slope stabilityanalyses,including the importance of using multiple and/orindependent methods
Methods for repairing failed slopes and stabilizing marginallystable slopes
Visually informative with more than 250 illustrations, SoilStrength and Slope Stability is a complete and practical resourcefor geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, civilengineers, geologists, environmental engineers, and students.
