Slope Stability Engineering: Developments and Applications

Front Cover
Thomas Telford, Apr 15, 1991 - Science - 443 pages
This volume draws on the experience and extensive research of an international authorship to bring together details on slope stability, causes of landslides, landslide prevention, new techniques for assessing and predicting stability, new methods for stabilising slopes and the special considerations for coastal situations.
