This book discusses techniques for predicting, preventing and
controlling the hydrogeological instability of slopes consisting of
cohesive soils. The proposed methodology is practical and
innovative, and assumes a dynamic valence in defining the
deformation process of underground failure as well as its
activation through the assumption of a four-dimensional space-time
continuum. This latter aspect is crucial for predicting a landslide
in time to control it. At present, predicting, preventing and
controlling hydrogeological instability in cohesive soils relies on
mathematical modelling using specific software, the predictive
reliability of which is rather deficient. Such modelling is based
upon deterministic processes, which are entirely unsuitable for
dealing with the complexity of vital processes occurring during the
genesis of a landslide. In this work, the three-dimensional vision
of a landslide as a set of distinct and independent phenomena is
abandoned and the prediction and prevention of hydrogeological
instability is pursued through the alternative of an indivisible
totality of natural phenomena that includes the time factor. The
book is of interest to graduates and researchers of applied
geology, geotechnical, environmental and civil engineering, as well
as professionals in the fields of hydrogeology and natural hazards.
