Static Slope Stability in Practice: Drained Shear Strengths provides a comprehensive walkthrough on drained stability analyses and the practical application of drained soil shear strengths for both natural and engineering slopes, highlighting the mechanisms underlying the behavior of slopes under static and rainfall-induced conditions to help engineers understand why different types of drained shear strength matter and how they impact slope stability.Topics include Causes of slope stability, Types of slope movement, Two-dimensional static equilibrium stability models, Conducting slope stability analyses, Factor of Safety, uncertaintiy, and probability of failure, Three-dimensional static slope stability analyses, Drained and undrained shear strengths, Development of Fully Softened Strength, Fully Softened Strength measurement and application, Drained shear strength examples, Residual strength empirical correlations, Geosynthetic lined slopes, Slope investigations, Remote sensing for monitoring slopes, and Impact of climate change on slope stability. Authors Timothy D. Stark and Abedalqader Idries compiled this book as a reference for students, practicing engineers, and academics using both theoretical concepts and real-world applications to improve slope stability analyses to strengthen geotechnical engineering practices worldwide.
