Product Description
Slope stability is a critical and fundamental element of geotechnical engineering involving the assessment of existing natural slopes and the intelligent design of man-made slopes, and the factors that may cause them to survive for many years or to crumble in a land slide.Virtually every civil engineering project, and especially highway development -- currently the hottest single area in all of civil engineering in the U.S.-- involves some element of slope stabilty and stabilization methods. This is a new edition, with some 35ew material, of one of the best available guides to stability and stabilization methods.

From the Publisher
A one-stop source to the understanding and application of slope stability analyses for construction and remediation projects. Contains general background information, suitable techniques of analysis with and without the use of computers and examples of common stability problems and stabilization methods for cuts and fills. Encompasses engineering geology principles, groundwater conditions, geologic site explorations, soil and rock testing, instrumentation and monitoring, design documents and construction inspection. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
