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.

This Second Edition of Geotechnical Slope Analysis is an updated
version of the original scholarly book. In this Edition concepts
and applications have been thoroughly revised. In particular, the
‘Initial Stress Approach’ has been extended to 2D problems in a
more rigorous manner. Additional solved numerical examples have
been added in several chapters. More importantly, the meaning of
the results is explored through interpretation. The influence of
initial stresses, pore water pressures and seismic forces has been
explored not only on performance indicators such as the ‘Factor
of Safety’ but also on the location of Critical Slip surfaces. In
addition to these factors, it is shown that the chosen method of
analysis may also have a significant influence on the location of
the critical slip surface. Student exercises have been included in
some Chapters with a view to encouraging further study and research
and reference is often made to case studies of particular
importance. The best features of the book have been retained with
continued emphasis on both deterministic and probabilistic
approaches for quantifying slope performance. The traditional
performance indicator such as a ‘Factor of Safety’ can be
complemented by the calculation of the ‘Reliability Index’ and
the ‘Probability of Failure’. This book focuses on research
studies concerning slope behaviour, the occurrence of landslides,
and the use of alternative methods of analysis and interpretation.
The importance of uncertainties in slope performance and, more
broadly, in geotechnical engineering is emphasized. This book will
be valuable to undergraduate and senior students of civil, mining
and geological engineering as well as to academic teachers and
instructors and also to researchers, practising geotechnical
engineers and consultants.
