Chapter 1. Aims and overview - slopes, geology and materials -- Chapter 2. Basic geotechnical conceps -- Chapter 3. Performance indicators and basic probability conceps -- Chapter 4. Limit equilibrium methods I - planer failure surfaces -- Chapter 5. Limit equilibrium methods II - general slip surfaces and beyond critical equilbrium -- Chapter 6. Stress - deformation analyses and their role in slope analysis -- Chapter 7. Natural slope analysis considering initial stresses -- Chapter 8. Plasticity and shear band analysis - a brief review -- Chapter 9. Earthquake effects and seismic slope analysis -- Chapter 10. Probabilistic approaches and reliability analysis -- Chapter 11. Case studies of urban slope stability -- Chapter 12. Summing up.
Freshly updated and extended version of Slope Analysis (Chowdhury, Elsevier, 1978). This reference book gives a complete overview of the developments in slope engineering in the last 30 years. Its multi-disciplinary, critical approach and the chapters devoted to seismic effects and probabilistic approaches and reliability analyses, reflect the distinctive style of the original. Subjects discussed are: the understanding of slope performance, mechanisms of instability, requirements for modeling and analysis, and new techniques for observation and modeling. Special attention is paid to the relati
