About this title

Synopsis

Slope Stability is a major problem faced during the construction and maintenance of highways. Anytime a highway (or other construction project) cuts into existing ground it disturbs the mechanics of the surrounding area. In its worst state the result may be landslides and rock falls that jeopardize construction projects and result in substantial rehabilitation costs.

From the Publisher

A one-stop source to the understanding and application of slope stability analyses for construction and remediation projects. Contains general background information, suitable techniques of analysis with and without the use of computers and examples of common stability problems and stabilization methods for cuts and fills. Encompasses engineering geology principles, groundwater conditions, geologic site explorations, soil and rock testing, instrumentation and monitoring, design documents and construction inspection.
