This new addition to the 'Short Course' series combines both soil and rock slope engineering - in effect, two short courses - in one concise volume. Like its acclaimed companion volume A Short Course in Foundation Engineering, this book focuses on the essentials, explaining simple methods of stability analysis and applying them to a wide range of practical applications. This invaluable resource provides with you: A full explanation of the fundamentals of soil mechanics and rock mechanics involved in the understanding of slope engineering An outline of the methods used in carrying out slope stability analysis 'by hand' to enable the checking of computer outputs A brief introduction to software applications for slope stability analysis and where to find them A review of the principles of investigation and stabilisation of slope failuresA Short Course in Soil and Rock Slope Engineering is an indispensable manual for practising civil engineering and engineering geologists. It is also a valuable resource for students because particular emphasis is put on explaning the basic soil and rock mechanics involved in understanding and designing soil and rock slopes. Included with this book is a CD of the software package 'SLOPE/W Student Edition' by GEO-SLOPE International Ltd.
