Static Slope Stability in Practice
American Society of Civil Engineers (Verlag)
978-0-7844-1634-1 (ISBN)
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.
Timothy D. Stark, Ph.D., P.E., BC.GE, is a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. His expertise lies in geotechnical engineering, and he has received numerous awards for his dedication and efforts to the field including the ASCE Distinguished Member designation since 2024 and the 2023 South African Institution of Civil Engineering J. E. Jennings Award. Abedalqader Idries, Ph.D., is a senior staff geotechnical engineer at Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, LLC. Abedalqader worked with co-author Timothy D. Stark on various research projects covering deep foundations, slope stability, geosynthetics, and more through which he has been awarded the ASTM Richard S. Ladd Standards Development Award.
