Slope stability is dependant on climatic, geological, morphological, structural geotechnical and seismatic factors. This volume draws on the experience and extensive research of an international authorship to bring together material of importance to ground engineers. It covers factors contributing to slope stability, causes of landslides, their prevention, new techniques for assessing and predicting stability, new methods for stabilising slopes and the special considerations for coastal situations.
