This handbook is an engineering guide for design of slopes and stabilisation works in rocks and residual soils. It is tailored to the practising geotechnical engineer and engineering geologist. Engineering and engineering geology students should find it quite useful and a practical course guide. It can be used as textbook in courses on landslides and slope stabilisation. The book's purpose is to present a concise documentation on how to design slopes and how to select a slope stabilisation method. The authors were selected among those who have lots of experience in their field.

This work reviews soil mechanics in the light of critical state soil mechanics. A number of exercises are provided, and a microcomputer program, "Cris," used for simulation of the behaviour of soil samples subjected to triaxial tests through the critical state models, accompanies the text.

This book is aimed at the practising engineer and engineering geologist working in tropical environments, where lands lides are mainly triggered by rain fall. This book is based on a similar work published in 1999 in Portuguese, which became the Rio de Janeiro Slope Manual. This book is an engineering guide for the design of slopes and stabilisation works in rocks and residual soils. It evolves from the cumulative experience gathered by several engineers and geologists who faced severe slope problems. The authors' experience throughout Central and South America (Costa Rica, Argentina,...
