This is a guide to stability and stabilization methods. The second edition includes new chapters on shallow failures (the most common failure in California) and stability of landfill slopes (a growing trend in slope design). It contains new material on probabilistic stability analysis, cost analysis of stabilization alternatives, and state-of-the-art techniques in time-domain reflectometry to help engineers plan and model new designs. It also provides tested and FHA approved procedures for the geotechnical stage of highway, tunnel and bridge projects, and sound guidance for geotechnical stage...
