Geotechnical Slope Analysis

An updated version of Slope Analysis, this text provides a complete overview of the developments in slope engineering in the last 30 years. Its multidisciplinary theme and the chapters devoted to seismic effects, probabilistic approaches, and reliability analyses reflect the distinctive style of the original volume. Subjects discussed include slope performance, mechanisms of instability, requirements for modeling and analysis, and new techniques for observation and modeling. Strategies and methods for assessing landslide susceptibility, hazard, and risk are also explored, along with the relevance of geotechnical analysis of slopes in the context of climate change scenarios. Numerous examples support the theories.
