Includes Recommendations for Analysis, Design Practice, Design
Charts, Tables, and More
Using a unified approach to address a medley of engineering and
construction problems, Slope Stability Analysis and Stabilization:
New Methods and Insight, Second Edition provides helpful practical
advice and design resources for the practicing engineer. This text
examines a range of current methods for the analysis and design of
slopes, and details the limitations of both limit equilibrium and
the finite element method in the assessment of the stability of a
slope. It also introduces a variety of alternative approaches for
overcoming numerical non-convergence and the location of critical
failure surfaces in two-dimensional and three-dimensional
cases.
What s New in the Second Edition:
This latest edition builds on the concepts of the first edition
and covers the case studies involved in slope stability analysis in
greater detail. The book adds a chapter on the procedures involved
in performing limit equilibrium analysis, as well as a chapter on
the design and construction practice in Hong Kong. It includes more
examples and illustrations on the distinct element of slope, the
relation between limit equilibrium and plasticity theory, the
fundamental connections between slope stability analysis and the
bearing capacity problem, as well as the stability of the
three-dimensional slope under patch load conditions.
- Addresses new concepts in three-dimensional stability analysis,
finite element analysis, and the extension of slope stability
problems to lateral earth pressure problems
- Offers a unified approach to engineering and construction
problems, including slope stability, bearing capacity, and earth
pressure behind retaining structures
- Emphasizes how to translate the conceptual design conceived in
the design office into physical implementation on site in a
holistic way
- Discusses problems that were discovered during the development
of associated computer programs
This text assesses the fundamental assumptions and limitations
of stability analysis methods and computer modelling, and benefits
students taking an elective course on slope stability, as well as
geotechnical engineering professionals specializing in slope
stability"
