Soil strength and slope stability

the long version

"Through clear, concise language and practical examples, Soil Strength and Slope Stability describes state-of-the-art methods for the evaluation and analysis of soil strength, as well as 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." "Visually informative with more than 250 illustrations, Soil Strength and Slope Stability is a complete and practical resource for geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, civil engineers, geologists, environmental engineers, and students."--Jacket.
