Description

The successful analysis and stabilization of soil and rock slopes requires an understanding of several subjects and concepts. This volume includes an introduction to the general concepts used in slope stability studies, a discussion of the geologic features that usually give slopes their personality, treatment of the groundwater and seepage issues that frequently cause slope stability problems, and slope stability analysis procedures ranging from simple rules-of-thumb and design charts to the more complex rigorous limit equilibrium methods.
