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,
• ...
