Slope Stability

OBJECTIVE

• The nature and occurrence of slope movements and instability
• The key geotechnical parameters that govern stability and how to identify them
• The availability, application and limitations of commercial analysis software
• How to develop a basic methodology for the planning and implementation of slope assessment
• The most common remedial measures and how to undertake risk analysis and evaluation of remedial measures
• The key approaches to back analysis of failed or remediated slopes
