Slope stability: Geotechnical engineering and geomorphology

by M.G. Anderson

Slope Stability integrates and develops new and existing themes in both geotechnical engineering and geomorphology relating to the title subject. To appreciate the problems involved in the safety determination of a given slope, an engineer should understand the existence of Quaternary slope development and fossil mass movement activity. Geomorphologists must also appreciate the range of parameters capable of incorporation into engineering stability analyses when applying these to regional problems of slope development.
