Written by two recognized experts in the field, Soil Strength and Slope Stability features:
• Case histories of landslides, embankment failures, excavation slope failures
• Principles that govern the shear strength of soils, including shear strength of municipal
solid waste
• Methods for estimating and evaluating shear strengths based on back analysis of slope
failures and stable slopes
• Explanations of the conditions that slopes must be designed to endure
• Detailed explanations of analysis methods for short-term and long-term stability, rapid
drawdown, earthquake, and partial consolidation
• A wide range of analysis methods, methods for verifying results, and advice on
presenting the results of slope stability analyses,including the importance of using
multiple and/or independent methods
• Methods for repairing failed slopes and stabilizing marginally stable slopes
