Afficher les exemplaires de cette édition ISBNThis reference book gives a complete overview of the developments in slope engineering over the last 35 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 relation with the increasing frequency and consequences of natural and man-made hazards. Strategies and methods for assessing landslide susceptibility, hazard and risk are also explored. Moreover, the relevance of geotechnical analysis of slopes in the context of climate change scenarios is discussed. All theory is supported by numerous examples. This wholly revised and updated 2nd CRC Press/Balkema edition features two new chapters on Performance Monitoring and Interpretation of Data and Hazard Zoning and Policy Issues, as well as various additional numerical examples.
The unique perspective and philosophy of this book will benefit researchers, consultants, practitioners and senior students in civil, mining and geological engineering in their professional practice and education.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. This second edition of Geotechnical Slope Analysis is an updated version of the original scholarly book. In this edition, concepts and applications have been thoroughly revised. In particular, the Initial Stress Approach has been extended to 2D problems in a more rigorous manner. Additional solved numerical examples have been added in several chapters. More importantly, the meaning of the results is explored through interpretation. The influence of initial stresses, pore water pressures and seismic forces has been explored not only on performance indicators such as the Factor of Safety but also on the location of critical slip surfaces. In addition to these factors, it is shown that the chosen method of analysis may also have a significant influence on the location of the critical slip surface. Student exercises have been included in some chapters with a view to encouraging further study and research, and reference is often made to case studies of particular importance.The best features of the book have been retained with continued emphasis on both deterministic and probabilistic approaches for quantifying slope performance. The traditional performance indicator such as Factor of Safety can be complemented by the calculation of the Reliability Index and the Probability of Failure. This book focuses on research studies concerning slope behaviour, the occurrence of landslides and the use of alternative methods of analysis and interpretation. The importance of uncertainties in slope performance and, more broadly, in geotechnical engineering is emphasised. This book will be valuable to undergraduate and senior students of civil, mining and geological engineering as well as to academic teachers and instructors and also to researchers, practising geotechnical engineers and consultants. This SECOND EDITION OF GEOTECHNICAL SLOPE ANALYSIS is an updated version of the original scholarly book. In this Edition concepts and applications have been thoroughly revised. The Initial Stress Approach has been extended to 2D problems in a more rigorous manner. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
