Full Description

Landslides are a major geohazard and a threat to communities and infrastructure worldwide. As climate change impacts intensify, a good understanding of the triggering factors and slope instability mechanisms is vital in order to assess and mitigate the risk. This comprehensive guide delves into slope failure and post-failure landslide mechanisms - knowledge that can save lives and protect communities globally.

Structured in two complementary parts, this authoritative volume first builds a solid theoretical foundation before bringing concepts to life through several well-documented examples. Part I explores the fundamental soil properties with specific concern to slopes, uncovers the often-complex mechanisms of slope failure and examines the crucial individual factors that control slope movements. This section therefore provides the essential theoretical framework for understanding these destructive natural phenomena. Part II reports 28 well-documented case histories presented by renowned experts from all over the world. These compelling case studies, which illuminate typical and less common phenomena of slope deformation and failure, transform abstract concepts into practical insights.

Whether you are a researcher pushing the boundaries of geotechnical knowledge, a practitioner implementing slope stability solutions, or a graduate student in soil engineering or geohazards, this book delivers invaluable knowledge directly applicable to your work. Civil engineers and geologists will also find this accessible volume an essential addition to their professional library.
