Slope Stability is a major problem faced during the construction and maintenance of highways. Anytime a highway (or other construction project) cuts into existing ground it disturbs the mechanics of the surrounding area. In its worst state the result may be landslides and rock falls that jeopardize construction projects and result in substantial rehabilitation costs.

The successful analysis and stabilization of soil and rock slopes requires an understanding of several subjects and concepts. This volume includes an introduction to the general concepts used in slope stability studies, a discussion of the geologic features that usually give slopes their personality, treatment of the groundwater and seepage issues that frequently cause slope stability problems, and slope stability analysis procedures ranging from simple rules-of-thumb and design charts to the more complex rigorous limit equilibrium methods.
