ISBN 0471691631, 9780471691631

state-of-the-art guidance to soil strength and slope-stability analysis
Through clear, concise language and practical examples, Soil Strength and Slope Stability describes state of the art methods for evaluating soil strength, and for analysis, design and stabilization of slopes in soil. The principles of limit equilibrium analysis, and appropriate use of computer programs are emphasized. Methods are described for checking the results of complex analyses, and for presenting results of slope stability analyses clearly. These are illustrated through many examples.

Soil Strength and Slope Stability describes state of the art methods for evaluating soil strength, and for analysis, design and stabilization of slopes in soil. The principles of limit equilibrium analysis, and appropriate use of computer programs are emphasized. Methods are described for checking the results of complex analyses, and for presenting results of slope stability analyses clearly. These are illustrated through many examples.

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

Soil Strength and Slope Stability 2 Edition

The definitive guide to the critical issue of slope stability and safety
Soil Strength and Slope Stability, Second Edition presents the latest thinking and techniques in the assessment of natural and man-made slopes, and the factors that cause them to survive or crumble.

Using clear, concise language and practical examples, the book explains the practical aspects of geotechnical engineering as applied to slopes and embankments. The new second edition includes a thorough discussion on the use of analysis software, providing the background to understand what the software is doing, along with several methods of manual analysis that allow readers to verify software results. The book also includes a new case study about Hurricane Katrina failures at 17th Street and London Avenue Canal, plus additional case studies that frame the principles and techniques described.
Slope stability is a critical element of geotechnical engineering, involved in virtually every civil engineering project, especially highway development. Soil Strength and Slope Stability fills the gap in industry literature by providing practical information on the subject without including extraneous theory that may distract from the application. This balanced approach provides clear guidance for professionals in the field, while remaining comprehensive enough for use as a graduate-level text. Topics include:
• Mechanics of soil and limit equilibrium procedures
• Analyzing slope stability, rapid drawdown, and partial consolidation
• Safety, reliability, and stability analyses
• Reinforced slopes, stabilization, and repair
The book also describes examples and causes of slope failure and stability conditions for analysis, and includes an appendix of slope stability charts. Given how vital slope stability is to public safety, a comprehensive resource for analysis and practical action is a valuable tool. Soil Strength and Slope Stability is the definitive guide to the subject, proving useful both in the classroom and in the field.

Dear friends,

The libgen link didn't work (at least for me).
The nitroflare link is just redirecting to advertsing pages but nothing happens.
Can somebody re-upload this title to bookzz or 4shared or mediafire?

Regards.

The Nitroflare link is working... It really is a complete mess of pages of advertising, but I can access the file...
