Slope Stability Analysis and Stabilization: New Methods and Insight, Second Edition

By Y.M. Cheng

A number of methods currently exist for the analysis and design of slopes. This book provides a critical review of these and offers more approaches for overcoming numerical non-convergence and the location of critical failure surfaces in two-dimensional and three-dimensional cases. It also addresses new concepts in three-dimensional stability analysis, finite element analysis, and the extension of slope stability problems to lateral earth pressure problems. It offers advice and design resources in the form of recommendations for analysis and design practice, design charts, and tables.
