Investigation, Analysis, and Remedial/Preventative Options in Soils
The authoritative guide to landslide investigation, evaluation, andmitigation design
Landslides in Practice combines clearly written descriptions and
real-life case histories in an authoritative, practical guide to
landslide investigation, evaluation, and mitigation design. It
presents state-of-the-art investigative techniques and practical
information on proven remediation techniques and technologies,
including handy checklists for undertaking an initial field
examination of a landslide.
Landslides in Practice describes the technical tools needed to
study landslides-site investigations, soil shear strength
properties, and slope stability analyses-and details forty-five
methods for stabilizing landslides or preventing instability in
soils from occurring. Most remediation techniques are keyed to the
ENR Construction Cost Index to help readers determine a rough
estimate of the costs associated with the various techniques.
To-the-point summaries explain presented techniques without
confusing jargon, and dozens of succinct case histories integrated
throughout the book serve as useful examples. In addition, twelve
expanded case histories illustrate in depth many aspects of the
landslide events and remediation strategies covered.
Complete with hundreds of informative illustrations, Landslides in
Practice is a valuable resource for engineers, geologists,
consulting firms, and construction companies, as well as landscape
architects, land developers, and trial lawyers in the construction
industry.
