Slope Stability and Stabilization Methods
2. Edition November 2001
736 Pages, Hardcover
Wiley & Sons Ltd
A major revision of the comprehensive text/reference
Written by world-leading geotechnical engineers who share almost
100 years of combined experience, Slope Stability and
Stabilization, Second Edition assembles the background information,
theory, analytical methods, design and construction approaches, and
practical examples necessary to carry out a complete slope
stability project.
Retaining the best features of the previous edition, this new
book has been completely updated to address the latest trends and
methodology in the field. Features include:
* All-new chapters on shallow failures and stability of landfill
slopes
* New material on probabilistic stability analysis, cost analysis
of stabilization alternatives, and state-of-the-art techniques in
time-domain reflectometry to help engineers plan and model new
designs
* Tested and FHA-approved procedures for the geotechnical stage
of highway, tunnel, and bridge projects
* Sound guidance for geotechnical stage design and planning for
virtually all types of construction projects
Slope Stability and Stabilization, Second Edition is
filled with current and comprehensive information, making it one of
the best resources available on the subject-and an essential
reference for today's and tomorrow's professionals in geology,
geotechnical engineering, soil science, and landscape
architecture.
