This book comprises select proceedings of the Indian Geotechnical Conference 2020 (IGC2020) focusing on recent developments in the field of transportation geotechnics, scour and erosion, offshore geotechnics, and environmental geotechnology. The contents are useful to academicia…
This book provides a complete guide to the study, design, construction and management of landslide and slope engineering measures for mountain roads, with an emphasis on low-cost. The geographical focus of the book is on the tropics and sub-tropics, but is also highly relevant t…
Landslides are caused by a failure of the mechanical balance within hillslopes. This balance is governed by two coupled physical processes: hydrological or subsurface flow and stress. The stabilizing strength of hillslope materials depends on effective stress, which is diminishe…
A cutting-edge quantitative approach to understanding hydro-mechanical processes behind rainfall-induced landslides, for graduate students, researchers and professionals.
Landslides occur when hillslopes become mechanically unstable, because of meteorological and geologic processes, and pose a serious threat to human environments in their proximity. The mechanical balance within hillslopes is governed by coupled physical processes: hydrologic or …
