Contents:
Front cover -- Contents -- About the Author -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Preface to the first edition -- Chapter 1. Aims and overview - slopes, geology and materials -- Chapter 2. Basic geotechnical concepts -- Chapter 3. Performance indicators and basic probability concepts -- Chapter 4. Limit equilibrium methods I - planar failure surfaces -- Chapter 5. Limit equilibrium methods II - general slip surfaces and beyond critical equilibrium -- Chapter 6. Stress-deformation analyses and their role in slope analysis -- Chapter 7. Natural slope analysis considering initial stresses -- Chapter 8. Plasticity and shear band analyses - a brief review -- Chapter 9. Earthquake effects and seismic slope analysis -- Chapter 10. Probabilistic approaches and reliability analyses -- Chapter 11. Case studies of urban slope stability -- Chapter 12. Summing up -- Appendix I: Shear strength parameters of residual soils, weathered rocks and related minerals -- Appendix II: Slope stability charts and their use for different conditions including rapid draw down -- Appendix III. Morgenstern nad Price approach - some additional partiulars -- References -- Permissions -- Subject index -- Colour plates -- Back cover.
Summary: 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.
