GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING OF THE STABILITY OF NATURAL SLOPES, AND CUTS AND FILLS IN SOIL
The paper presents a critical review of the state of the art of geotechnical engineering of natural slopes, cuts and fills in soil. Topics which are covered include the pre and post failure mechanics at the micro and macro scale, including discussion of contractant and other strain weakening soils, creep, progressive and retrogressive failure and fissured clays. Geotechnical investigation requirements and methods for analysis of stability and deformations, and for analysis of post failure velocity and travel distance are reviewed. It is concluded that many slope instability hazards may be managed by traditional factor of safety methods, but that it is important that the post failure behaviour be considered. Observational, and risk assessment methods may be more appropriate than the traditional methods in many cases.

MECHANISMS AND RATES OF SLOPE MOVEMENTS IN FINE GRAINED SOILS
Mechanisms of slope movements are always the result of a complex stress-strain field induced by changes of boundary and environmental conditions (triggering factors). The slope response to triggering factors depends on soil properties and initial conditions and is categorised by different landslide styles. The major aim of this report is to stress the relationship existing between mechanisms and mechanics of slope movements induced by changes of boundary conditions.

The fourth in the highly respected Short Course Series, A Short Course in Soil-structure Engineering of Deep Foundations, Excavations and Tunnels, focuses on the three major geotechnical challenges of static soil-structure interaction problems. Deep foundations ? piles, barrettes, Multi-propped deep excavations and Bored and open face tunnels beneath cities.
This book gives both students and practising civil engineers an authoritative review of the state-of-the-art of designing deep foundations, excavations and tunnels. In addition, the case studies and numerical modelling

About the Book
Strength of Materials covers the study of the behaviour of structural and machine members under the action of external loads. Analysis is directed towards determining the limiting loads, that the member can stand before failure of the material or excessive deformation. To this end, three basic sets of relations can be obtained. The book highlights the mechanics of these conditions.

Foundations and retaining structures – research and practice, H. Poulos
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a broad review of shallow and deep foundations and retaining structures and the most significant methods developed to predict their behaviour. Static and some cyclic loading effects are considered, but dynamic behaviour has been excluded. Emphasis has been placed on methods that have been validated or found to be reliable for use in engineering practice. These include some well-tried and tested methods and others that have been suggested and validated in recent times by geotechnical researchers. Recommendations are made about preferred methods of analysis as well as those whose use should be discontinued. In addition, some observations are made about the future directions that the design of foundations and retaining walls may take, as there are still many areas where uncertainty exists. Some of the latter have been identified.
