Extensive reference on both analysis and remediation of unstable slopes in soil and rock, integrating geotechnical investigation, limit equilibrium and numerical analysis with design of stabilisation measures. Abramson, Lee, Sharma and Boyce cover general slope stability concepts, common modes of failure, and detailed design of stabilisation systems including retaining structures, soil nailing, anchors, drainage and ground improvement. The second edition adds material on shallow failures and landfill slopes and remains a go-to manual when moving from slope stability assessment into selection and design of mitigation works.
