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
