Editorial Review:
A major revision of the comprehensive text/reference
Written by world-leading geotechnical engineers who share almost 100 years of combined experience, Slope Stability and Stabilization, Second Edition assembles the background information, theory, analytical methods, design and construction approaches, and practical examples necessary to carry out a complete slope stability project.
Retaining the best features of the previous edition, this new book has been completely updated to address the latest trends and methodology in the field. Features include:
* All-new chapters on shallow failures and stability of landfill slopes
* 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
* Tested and FHA-approved procedures for the geotechnical stage of highway, tunnel, and bridge projects
* Sound guidance for geotechnical stage design and planning for virtually all types of construction projects
Slope Stability and Stabilization, Second Edition is filled with current and comprehensive information, making it one of the best resources available on the subject-and an essential reference for today's and tomorrow's professionals in geology, geotechnical engineering, soil science, and landscape architecture.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Slope Stability and Stabilization Methods
I've been using this book as a resource for a graduate course in slope stability and a project involve stabilization methods and have found it an incredibly useful tool. It has some good information and helpful hits. I would recommend it for anyone doing Geotechnical Engineering.
Rating: - Valuable Reference
This book is a valuable reference for slope stability. The second edition is an improvement from the first edition, but dosen't make the first obsolete. Some great information, including example problems, on probabilistic analysis has been added and there is a little more on 3D and finite element analysis. Probably not enough changes from the first edition to make you need this one, unless you have some specific questions about one of the new chapters (see the table of contents). Numerous references ... Read More
Rating: - Decent Introductory Text .
An good overview of basic soil mechanics and slope stability methods/concepts... a good introductory book. A large majority of chapters deal with more traditional geology and soil mechanics knowledge (ie. groundwater conditions, geologic site exploration and lab testing) and really only two good chapters on stability methods (6&7)... it would have been nicer to have more discussion of the chart solutions and more detailed case studies as examples for each method(the examples are generally simple and kept ...

Rating: - A Great Into into Slope Stability
This book is great for engineers trying to learn Slope Stability Analysis on their own, or for instruction in the classroom. The book talks about field invesigation techniques, anylitical analysis, and new computer methods including X-Stable. This book is a must for any Geotechnical Engineer.
