Failures of mass movements often result in extensive property
damage and loss of human life. It is recognised that ensuring the
stability of both natural and man-made slopes continues to be a
fundamental issue in geotechnical engineering. There is no
universally accepted method for the prevention or correction of
landslides. The comparative performance of the various analyses has
been carried out successfully using case studies. A visco-plastic
flow model has been proposed to estimate lateral forces on piles
used for slope stabilisation. Slope stabilisation due to the
presence of a row of piles has been investigated using two distinct
lateral load estimations. Eight well-known methods of slope
stability analyses have been adopted and computer coded to
re-calculate FOS values for a slope reinforced by a row of piles.
The book is intended primarily for use in university courses, at
both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The author also expects
that the book will serve as valuable reference material for
practising engineers.
