THis new edition of this successful book has been thoroughly
revised to take account of recent advances in our understanding of
slope stability and instability. The book begins with a
consideration of slope stability processes, including the evolution
of natural slopes. Thebehaviour of soil and rocks, and the flow of
water through them, (which is of fundamental importance to their
shear strength), are explained in considerable detail. The
principles and techniques of stability analysis are covered in two
separate chapters. From this basic theory the author develops
practical design criteria for new slopes, discusses remedial
measures for slope stabilization, and provides guidance on
investigation of landslides. Computer programs to facilitate
analysis and design are discussed where appropriate, and the book
concludes with several carefully selected case histories, and
design recommendations for man-made slopes.
