Freshly updated and extended version of Slope Analysis (Chowdhury,
Elsevier, 1978). This reference book gives a complete overview of
the developments in slope engineering in the last 30 years. Its
multi-disciplinary, critical approach and the chapters devoted to
seismic effects and probabilistic approaches and reliability
analyses, reflect the distinctive style of the original. Subjects
discussed are: the understanding of slope performance, mechanisms
of instability, requirements for modeling and analysis, and new
techniques for observation and modeling. Special attention is paid
to the relation with the increasing frequency and consequences of
natural and man-made hazards. Strategies and methods for assessing
landslide susceptibility, hazard and risk are also explored.
Moreover, the relevance of geotechnical analysis of slopes in the
context of climate change scenarios is discussed. All theory is
supported by numerous examples. ''...A wonderful book on Slope
Stability....recommended as a refernence book to those who are
associated with the geotechnical engineering profession
(undergraduates, post graduates and consulting engineers)...''
Prof. Devendra Narain Singh, Indian Inst. of Technology, Mumbai,
India ''I have yet to see a book that excels the range and depth of
Geotechnical Slope Analysis... I have failed to find a topic which
is not covered and that makes the book almost a single window
outlet for the whole range of readership from students to experts
and from theoreticians to practicing engineers...'' Prof. R.K.
Bhandari, New Delhi, India
