This book describes the latest advances, innovations, and
applications in the field of building design, environmental
engineering and sustainability as presented by leading
international researchers, engineers, architects and urban planners
at the 3rd International Sustainable Buildings Symposium (ISBS),
held in Dubai, UAE from 15 to 17 March 2017. It covers highly
diverse topics, including smart cities, sustainable building and
construction design, sustainable urban planning, infrastructure
development, structural resilience under natural hazards, water and
waste management, energy efficiency, climate change impacts, life
cycle assessment, environmental policies, and strengthening and
rehabilitation of structures. The contributions amply demonstrate
that sustainable building design is key to protecting and
preserving natural resources, economic growth, cultural heritage
and public health. The contributions were selected by means of a
rigorous peer-review process and highlight many exciting ideas that
will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary
collaboration among different specialists.

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.
