Description: This book is an engineering guide for design of slopes and stabilisation works in rocks and residual soils. It is tailored to the needs of practising geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists. Engineering and engineering geology students will find it quite useful and a practical course guide. It can be used as textbook in courses on landslides and slope stabilisation. The purpose of this book is to present a concise documentation on how to design slopes and how to select a slope stabilisation method. The authors are scholars and professional engineers with many years of international experience in slope stabilization works in South and Central America and the Far East.
